Pulled Apart By Horses

Formed in 2008 from the ashes of previous musical projects, British quartet, Pulled Apart By Horses, has been bringing a refreshingly spirited attitude to alternative rock. The band began performing in its hometown of Leeds, England, garnering fans through its all-out live performances, one of which sent several band members to the hospital. The pounding, drum-heavy songs mesh a variety of influences--punk, hardcore, disco--to create whirling rhythms. The band's self-titled debut album was released in the summer of 2010 to much anticipated success.
