Band of Horses
There might be no other band that was able to channel the generational anxiety in those early
millennial years and turn it into such powerful and inclusive art quite like Band of Horses. Band of Horses fashioned gorgeously ragged epics, Ben Bridwell’s high-flying vocals and eccentric
enunciation floating like a specter that felt like a prelude to a dream. Full of profundity, truth, and
sometimes just homespun advice on how to live, Band of Horses songs have become anthems
and touchstones for fans. Emotionally intense, both on a personal and elemental level, the songs for Band of Horses’ sixth album, Things Are Great, finds Bridwell more autobiographical than he’s ever been on record, detailing the nebulous frustrations and quiet indignities of relationship changes and what a person will do to make things right. And what you do when you can’t. Band of Horses is composed of Bridwell, longtime members Ryan Monroe and Creighton Barrett and new members Matt Gentling (of Archers of Loaf) on bass, and guitarist Brett Nash. This fresh chapter finds the band recapturing the raw emotion and unpolished punk-rock spirit of its early days. The songs on Things Are Great document the connections -
Dinosaur Jr.
Dinosaur Jr. is one of the most influential alternative rock bands to come out of the 80s. The band formed in Amherst, Massachusetts, US and created a style of noise rock that is instantly recognizable.
