2009 release from the Southern Californa Post-Hardcore outfit. Horse The Band teeter on the brink of brilliance, total ruin and extinction. All day. Every day. This mere fact of their existence is masterfully executed by and evidenced on their latest slab of artful noise, Desperate Living, an album which is inspired by John Waters" film of the same name and the experiences the band has endured over the past several years in the eats-its-young music business. Desperate Living has the blood of the musicians who created it coursing through its tainted veins. It pierces like a spear through the heart and transports your mind to altered states of consciousness.
