Review:

For the best part of decade now, HORSE The Band has been releasing albums, under a banner which vocalist Nathan Winneke once jokingly described as 'nintendocore'. Their first few releases were a fun and nostalgic nod back to the earlier days of gaming, mixing 8-bit video game sounds with metal and hardcore, however it was 2007's, 'A Natural Death' which really made me take notice. Now they're back with, 'Desperate Living', a crowning achievement, which not only raises the bar, but shatters the bar into a million pieces. See, HORSE The Band has always been a band which jokes around, writes absurd music and pretends not to care about anything. Yet under the facade of 'not giving a shit' there's some talented and gifted musicianship at work, all of which is on display here. Highlights include fist pumping anthem, 'HORSE The Song', electro-rock masterpiece 'Shapeshift' and the glorious conclusion, 'Rape Escape' which culminates with a chaotic classical piano solo, meshing with crashing drums and guitars to create a gloriously deranged work of art. Proceed with caution.
