HELD BY HORSES
www.facebook.com/heldbyhorses
This is the second EP released by these five musicians from Essex and with an impressive amount of talent delivering great vocals and powerful riffs, it’s easy to see why Held by Horse have gained momentum since they formed back in January 2011 and gained supports for the likes of Mallory Knox, Mystery Jets, Johnny Get The Gun and Our People Versus Yours. Throughout the EP the vocals come through loud and clear with the drums and guitar riffs creating an impressive fast paced beat. The entire EP shows off their musical talent and ability to pull off catchy riffs that draw you into the song until you’re banging your head along to the songs. My favourite song on the EP is ‘The Last Word’, the shifting between gentle and powerful vocals along with the switching of pace with the instrumental elements is amazing. The addition of a second set of vocals from Renz Byrne from Never Means Maybe really works well and the entire song is a joy to listen to. Even though they have only been going a relatively short while, they have created a very catchy and memorable sound that I look forward to hearing more of in the future.
