By Chester Pains I'll start this one with a true story about the realities of being in a band at this level... Let me introduce More Than Conquerors, natives of Belfast and purveyors of a fine line of Weezer-esque ditties with a hard edge. I got chatting to them post-gig and their story of being on a UK tour for the past 3 weeks revealed an effort way beyond Mssrs Frodo and co had to endure to cast a ring into the flames of Mordor. MTC arrived via car/ferry in Scotland, played some shows in the Highlands and their car [...]

Hardcore enthusiasts Hold Your Horse Is have made the lead-off single from their forthcoming new album available for free download. The appropriately named Title Track is ninety seconds or so of classy mayhem. Watch it. Download it. a a Follow @madmackerel
CM: What time did you wake up today? Was it out of choice or necessity? JS: 10 o'clock Glasgow time! Necessity – Had a 6 hour drive to the Northern coast of Scotland ahead of us playing in Thurso (look it up on the map.. its 10miles south of John O'Groats) CM: Describe Jumping Ships [...]
Well now, isn't that nice. To go towards funding the recording of their debut album (which definitely looks set to be out before year's end at this rate - joy), Hold Your Horse Is follow up their rather excellent single 'Forgive And Forget' with a live album. Yes, you read that right, already . It's not the usual way to go about things, but we've had a listen and it is, in a word, ace - but then you were expecting that, weren't you. It goes under the deceptively flippant title of 'Like, [...]
Hold Your Horse Is have that British angular post-punk sound a la Million Dead, the vocalist reminds me quite a bit of Frank Turner at times which is definitely a good thing. You can find a pretty extensive catalogue of their tunes over on their bandcamp . Mp3: Hold Your Horse Is - Forgive and Forget
Well, this is a song we won't 'forget' in a hurry. Here's some thundering, no-holds-barred math rock. If you're into that sort of thing, you're going to love Hold Your Horse Is (if you didn't already). They're the kind of band who can give you a Hella -va good time - and for those of you who haven't been paying attention, take a look at this . There is apparently an album due out this year. We say, bring it on, because if there are other songs as good as this on it, it's going to [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Fuck twee, let's rock. Obviously I'm only kidding, but the mood of the moment requires things that are heavy, fast, and very, very loud. So it's great to get some new material from Hold Your Horse Is , a band name that I still can't decide is good or bad eighteen months on from first hearing them. Forgive and Forget is, whisper it, a little cleaner than some of their previous work, and possibly even a little more mainstream, but it's no less enjoyable for it. [...]

Hold Your Horse Is One of our favourite new acts from last year, Hold Your Horse Is return early in 2011 with a new single ' Forgive and Forget ', which carries on where this mathy pop rock trio left off. It's quick, heavy, and fun. You can download it for free from the bands site now. // Hold Your Horse Is Hold Your Horse [...]

Tweet I read a review of Hold Your Horse Is that described them as 'Math Rockers'. What is that? Do they sing about Algebra or Trigonometry? Do they dance in peculiar hexagonal patterns, formulating complex equations with every move? New music genres weird me out. Maybe it's because they herald from Frimley / Fleet in Surrey / Hampshire which probably makes you a posh geek of some sort with a peculiar inclination for Maths. Anyway, If you fancy some Math Rock [...]

![[MIX] A Burning Ear Christmas 2010 – Three Servings of Cheer](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3056649_lg.jpg)
It's only a week until Christmas!! This years mix almost didn't happen because I thought I wouldn't have time to dig up good tracks but then they just started popping up and a lot of them were very cool. I grabbed the best and threw them together here for a holiday mix in three parts. First get funky with the dance party starters then slip into some original X-mas tunes by artists old and new and close it off with some reworked classics. I hope you all enjoy these jams and have yourselves a kick ass holiday season! [...]

'Hold Your Horse Is' are a trio of energetic math-rockers from southern England who've been hacking away at the underground touring circuit for the last couple years. That's all about to change. Hold Your Horse Is ( HYHI ) are no longer content with playing in the dives that Hundred Reasons began their career in – their goal is to be " your new favourite band " (as the PR explains) in the same way Hundred Reasons won the UK's heart all those years back. [...]
Hold Your Horse Is are overdosing with energy if taster track You Show Up is anything to go by. It's primal, aggressive and packed to the hilt with full on riffage. It is easy to see where their cited influences of Reuben and Million Dead come from. The song is the lead from new EP Rammin' It Home out on Big Scary Monsters Records and it is six tracks of pulsating, frantic, hardcore rock'n'roll - one to blow the cobwebs away, and probably your brains with it. [...]
words: Jamie Milton photo credit Hold Your Horse Is amaze us with their angst-ridden, gung-ho, straight-up rock music. Signed to the ever consistent Big Scary Monsters , and contemporaries of Brighton's Crooked Mountain, Crooked Sea , of whom we featured not so long ago, they give us every indication that they're going to make a name for themselves with ' You Show Up '. Merciless changes of structure and rhythm, thick guitar patterns hone in at your bloodstream, altering [...]
we're only afraid of NYC Today sees the release of their third EP, 'zero.three', by the Glasgow trio, it could quite possibly be the greatest thing to have been released in 2010. Yes, it's that good. I guess you already know that myself and Jim 'Ayetunes' love this band, if you don't trust us, then trust the lovely Lauren Laverne who also shares our passion. Download yourself a free cope of the EP over on their Bandcamp page, then once you realise how right I am, make sure you come along and catch their headlining set [...]
