LaFaro Announce November Tour with Hold Your Horse Is

[press release] Belfast's post-hardcore behemoth's Lafaro & Frimley's Hold Your Horse Is announce a joint November UK tour.

Lafaro's album "Easy Meat" is out today & the band are currently on tour! Stream the album in full online below, then order your copy HERE!
Polar opposite to the delicate poise of the influential jazz bassist Scott LaFaro from which this Belfast quartet takes their name, LaFaro are a wrecking ball of a band. Their rhythmic post-hardcore is designed to pulverize dance floors and leave no bottle of beer undrunk – this is music distilled to its fundamental elements – ‘We hark back to time when rock music was still fun’ states lead rabble-rouser Johnny Black ominously.

Recalling The Jesus Lizard, Shellac, Helmet (with whom the band have toured Europe) and NI heroes Therapy? LaFaro have character, chops and emotion oozing through every seedy riff 'I love to write about life's dark little secrets - the things we all know happen but never get discussed'.

Hold Your Horse Is are about to give birth to their new album via Big Scary Monsters. They are a band consisting of 3 chaps from Frimley and Fleet (please repeat!). The usual story, pilfering members from local bands to form a better band! Taking influence from awesome bands such as Riddle Of Steel, Reuben, Refused... At The Drive In?! (mainly bands starting with 'R'), HYHI is about fun, being loud and playing fast, and sometimes being Super... Duper Serial.
