Album Review

Pulled Apart by Horses – Yeah Buddy

• 23rd Dec 2010

“You’re listening to Radio1 and this is Pulled Apart by Horses” is NOT something I expected to hear on a Tuesday afternoon post ‘we no speak Americano’… this first happened a few weeks ago, and since then this sentence has crept more and more regularly onto the radio waves as the single ‘Yeah Buddy’ has dragged it’s way up the Radio 1 play list…

And rightly so… the self titled album is definitely one of the better offerings of 2010 and this single is definitely one of the punchier tracks off the record… believe the hype

Listening to singer Tom Hudson yelp out the chorus of this song though, it does sound like at ay moment he could rupture an internal organ (we sincerely hope he doesn’t do this – but if he does, I reckon he’d be pretty happy to go out like that) and the video continues to demonstrate the bands playful attitude and what seems like a bit of a dirty fetish for masks.

PABH are, without question, one of the hardest working bands in the UK right now, it’s hard not to love them and everything they’re about.

At least for now, every time I hear “You’re listening to Radio1 and this is Pulled Apart by Horses” it puts a big dirty smile across my face not too dissimilar to that of a 15 year old boy discovering late night channel 5 for the first time…
