Through the course of a year A Horse & His Boy (AHAHB) has evolved from a solo project to a five piece. At one time involving only samplers, the band has progressed into an impetuous presentation of heavy guitar, melodic basslines, and battling synths, with elaborate drum beats working through the chaos to hold the sound together. Fronted by two vocalists, one soft and harmonic, yet fierce at times inspired by a metal background, the other harsh and shameless with aggressive delivery, their contrasting tones work together to create a sound uniquely their own. Songs often reflect on recurring dreams and the past. While maintaining their originallity, the group is equally influenced by post-punk, pop, jazz, and experimental genres.
Formed in late 2008, AHAHB is touring Canada in September 2009 to support their first full-length album.
It was good to meet you the other night. I'm glad you enjoyed the music. I enjoy yours very much too. Let us know if you guys ever plan on getting down to windsor.
you got it. british folklore suggested that nightmares were caused by a hag or witch sitting on a persons chest while they sleep, casting evil thoughts into their mind and when the sleeper woke, they would not be be able to move or breathe as a result. they would be "hagridden." so yes we now know it as sleep paralysis. my sister told me about going through it once. and i think your the first person to get that. nice.
