Free Trojan Horse!

Something interesting has been happening over the last few months. A good band actually seems to be getting some of the attention they deserve... and (whisper it) they're actually nice guys too. If, like me, you are sick and tired of boring run of the mill, marketing campaigns disguised as bands getting all the buzz, then this is undoubtedly a good thing. I mean, who the fuck actually listens to WU LYF anyway? Certainly no one that I'd rescue from a canal boat fire.

If you live in Manchester and have been cursed with the insatiable desire for new and exciting music, you'll be pretty familiar with the great "scene" we've got going here. Lots of great musicians make great sounds for great people in great places. It’s all really great. Unfortunately, the rest of the country tends to overlook all the good stuff coming out of the city in favour of the endless stream of anaemic pussbags erupting from Wilmslow’s ass like a tepid pill shit.

Perhaps this is starting to change to some extent. Like the blinding flash of light as the police raid an illegal sex dungeon, there is hope for the disenfranchised. Our days of being chained to the greasy torture rack of anonymity may be a long way from over, but one of our own are about to break free. Having just been featured in Classic Prog Rock Magazine (that ubercool guardian of hipster style and taste), Trojan Horse are about to embark on a nationwide tour which is bound to increase their profile.

Personally, I couldn't be happier for them. I've been living vicariously through Nick Duke's beard for the last few years, whispering into the ears of underaged emo girls that I used to be in a band with the guy. Things are about to get a lot better for me. And for You, because The Horse fucking rock. Comprising of three ginger brothers and some other Guy, the band is often referred to as Eccles' answer to Hanson-  and believe me, their jaunty Prog-Metal styling totally lives up to the comparison.

To celebrate their recent turn of fortune, the Horse are giving away their debut LP (which I reviewed a few months ago) for free. So why not click HERE and download it? You could even listen to it... if you're into that kind of thing.
