Pulled Apart By Horses - 'Tough Love' (2012)

Cover pic.



With one of the best live shows out there – a visceral, chaotic and fanatically dangerous display of flailing limbs and flailing chords flying about in sonic skree, U.K (Leeds) band Pulled Apart By Horses grab the frentic end of hardcore and post hardcore and turn it into their own.
If their debut album was almost too good at capturing their live chaos they have pulled off the neat trick of adding some structure to the adrenalin and delivered a great second album, one that makes sense of their chaos without losing its thrilling rush.
Expertly produced by the legendary Gil Norton who made his name with the Pixies and Foo Fighters amongst many others, the guitar riffs sound massive and collide beautifully, the excitement level is still cranked but the songs are allowed to breathe whilst the energy level never drops, this is all too rare on these kind of records and most bands will tell you how difficult it is to make a raw, almost live record work in the studio.
With this thrilling album, Pulled Apart By Horses are proof that British rock and punk are in fine form.
