Band of Horses is a really sweet band that arose from the ashes of Carissa's Weird, another Northwest favorite of mine. They were formed in 2004 by Ben Birdwell.
Band of Horses are truly originals, some compare Birdwells vocals to Jim James or Neil Young but i think they are set apart from these influences because of the sure seize of them (vocals). Birwell's monumental Tenor is what makes band of Horses such a great band. When you listen to there albums, you are totally taken out of your body through a folk inspired journey through the building block skyline of Seattle, then down a warm summer road. Its quit an experience.
I look at whats being played on the radio and in peoples cars and it makes me want to conjure another flood to wipe out this generation of youth that listen to music with out substance. But then i hear bands such as Band of Horses and they serve as a rainbow reminding me that there is hope!!!!!!
Band of Horses has released three studio records
Here are a few of my favorite tracks, but certantly listen to them all!
