Dead Horses

Italian band Dead Horses released one of my favorite albums of 2017 with their debut "Ballad for Losers," their particular brand of lo-fi cowpunk scratching that particular itch just right.  And i hadn't heard from them since.  I was wondering if they were even still around, and then i got the news this morning of their upcoming sophomore effort "Sunny Days."  New tune "Macabro" keeps their cowpunk intact but adds in some extra Spaghetti Western moods for good measure.  Check it out below and pre-order the record here from Maple Death Records.

Dead Horses

It's always a wonderful experience to stumble upon a record label that seems to be speaking your language with every single release, regardless of genre or mood.  And the folks over at Italian label Maple Death are just killing it.  The latest release is the debut album from Italian cowpunk trio Dead Horses, the side project of members of weirdo noise makers For Food.  Western themed art from Italy always seems to be right up my alley (read: Spaghetti Westerns), and "Ballad for Losers" is no different.  Listen to the hopping, honky tonk punk of "Morning Hell" below and grab the cassette here.
