Forming in August of 2009, Deadhorse is a post-rock/instrumental band from Erie, PA, and they are quickly becoming known as a hard-working and sincere new face in the touring underground. With national tours and independent album releases spreading like wildfire through relentless online promotion, the sounds of Deadhorse are reaching new audiences all around the globe each and every day. Deadhorse shows no signs of slowing down with the release of their first studio full length We Can Create Our Own World on vinyl through Broken Circles Records, and plans for tours to Canada, Europe and China in 2012. A split 7 inch coming this fall through Broken Circles/Animal Style Records, and 2 music videos made by Australian filmmaker Matt Kleiner. They are showing that DIY is still very much alive. Now I do have a personal bias with this expansive band, because I have toured and recorded with them. It was an incredibly humbling experience, as well as challenging. With that said, I believe that is the reason this band needs to be in your headphones this instant, because they challenge you to interpret their music in a new way. With a wide range of dynamic, control and power, Deadhorse not only creates an original atmosphere for you, the listener, to be sucked into, but also maintains a crucial and intimate connection with subtle builds, graceful strings, and gentle classical-driven melodies. With absolutely no vocals, Deadhorse gives you the spotlight to tie emotional strings to different parts of each song. Now you have the power to paint the picture for the music instead of attempting to blindly relate to songs you know nothing about, nor ever will. Coinciding with their user-interrupted music, they preach that this world is ours and we have the power to build in our own way. With the ideology of anarcho-pacifism, they promote direct action and self-motivation, thus creating this rare feeling not delivered by any band on the market. I promise you if you get the chance to see them live it will not be a show like KISS would put on, but rather an emotional, musical expression bathed in a multitude of strange personalities. Keep up with them!
