Warhorse Ain't Nuthin' Ta Fuck Wit



'Warhorse are the only band in Sydney I like. They don't give a shit' - Mr Volcano of Polaroids Of Androids 

OK, so you'll probably see me pimping these guys a bit as I actually manage them, but fuck it - in my eyes they are one of the best things happening in Sydney right now amongst many and they can only grow into a bigger monster than what they already are. 

I'll let you listen for yourself to tracks from their 'Gun$ EP' (produced by Burke Reid and released last year via Timberyard / Shock). 

The live shows are truly something else and if you saw them on their endless run of shows last year, let me assure you the live sound has grown more epic than ever. 
They have been keeping reasonably quite for most of this year, writing tracks for a new album ('North Korea' and 'Warhorse' were previewed late last year) and taking a step aside to develop their sound with the return of the orginal bass player George Nagle and the addition of Ben Tarwin on Theremin. A Psychedelic treat. 
Plus Warhorse have the best but busiest drummer in Australia being the one and only Jasper Fenton who also spends time with Decoder Ring, the redsunband and the incredible Dead China Doll
