@horsechoker is the lead singer
Horsegirl is kinky melinky for a choking
I better grow back my man bun then.
Ah the good old Caf! 
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.
There's clearly a big 90s grunge revival thing going on amongst younger people these days. It's quite interesting.
Band sounds good too. Anything that avoids synth - given how overused that's become - gets an up-vote from me (sorry synth heads)

I hope horses are deaf.
Stay away from horsey women is my sage advice.
You will always come second in their affections.

Agreed. Thing with Horsegirl though is that they appear to have more to offer than just another 90's revival band. There is some really unique and original elements to their music. Actually even in Anti-Glory when they sing "Dance," it wasn't something I was expecting. I thought the song was taking a different journey and then it sort of knocks you out of that groove. Of course they head right back into the shoe-gaze vibe again. I've been very impressed. I have yet to hear a live performance of the song where the sound-tech has worked out how to manage the lead singers voice though. She sings right at the base of her range and so it's very difficult to belt out notes when you're choosing those notes.
You've clearly put more thought into it. I just find this kind of style timeless, like they're just three people with guitars, bass and drums having a bit of fun.
Shut up woman get on my horsegirl.
Sorry. Just a bit excited but yeah totally agree
Damn you!
I like this song and it's my kind of style.
But I have to say the local alt music scene here and in cities across America is full of bands performing songs like this. So if you are saying mainstream music is headed in that direction it's probably not but there is still a great alternate music scene we can all enjoy
That's a shame then. I guess we shall see. Also, I'm not saying anything. I'm hoping. Two entirely different things.
Especially after dark. They're night mares.
As a fan of such music myself, I think its unrealistic in the near future to wait for a wave of it going mainstream. However, with the internet there are so many bands like that we can support with their own pockets of following. I enjoy a variety of music but this is the sort of music I love listening to live the most (along with some skate punk)
It really brings me back. Nirvana supported by Teenage Fanclub was my first gig aged 14 and I've always followed in that base vein whilst of course branching out into different genres. I do listen to as much indie underground as I can but felt Horsegirl are quite outstanding. There is just something different about them.
I'll collect your coat for you Dante
Reminds me of early Snail Mail. Checkout the Habit EP if you haven't already.
Wouldn't be crazy about Snail Mail. Vocally they are a lot more straight forward and I'm not a fan of the Lindsey Jordan's voice
Keeping up with the theme, what are your thoughts on Goat Girl (London band) ?
I enjoy this performance, not sure about them overall:
Tone deaf going off that band…
I mean it's not bad but nothing groundbreaking either .
Just indie rock.

Assumed this would be about Owen’s daughter after seeing my Twitter feed this morning.
