Pulled Apart By Horses 'Wolf Hand' (Tough Love)

THE  MUSIC

Pulled Apart By Horses (hence forth known as PABH) are the great success story of the British underground music scene. Before they were friends with Fern, attending Huw Stephen's stag-do, opening for Muse and generally being deservedly successful, they were touring the country relentlessly, playing shitty little venues for a pittance. I saw them in Bournemouth at the shittiest of shitty venues, 'iBar' and they were incredible. In terms of music their energy when live is like electric shock therapy. On record I'm a stickler for their more sing-along-moments as opposed to the raw-throated vocal turns. Yeah Buddy's probably my favourite.

Anyhoos...Wolf Hand. Full of energy AND melody. That perfect copulation of tuneful ingredients that make you listen, move and SMASH YOUR FACE in to things for fun. Here's an idea in fact. Perhaps if the scum that orchestrated and took part in last years UK riots had been marched in to an empty aerodrome and had PABH tunes pumped in to their ears at high volume, they would have released all that deviant energy, en-masse. Just a thought. Therapists! Put down your Enya CD's! Replace them with Wolf Hand, after people have listened and then uncontrollably punkballed round the room they'll be feeling a lot better...

THE COVER ART

Follows a similar style to a previous single, 'V.E.N.O.M.' and is pretty good. It's not stand-out good but it suits the song and you know what you're gonna get. In the bands own words "a drawing on the cover of a man who has gone all wolf messed up and proper cool."
