Formed in early 2008, Pulled Apart By Horses made a name for themselves very quickly with a string of energetic and chaotic live shows, which led later the same year to slots at the Latitude Festival and on the BBC Introducing stage at the Leeds Festival, where their performance drew a sizeable crowd, making them one of the highlights of the weekend for many and helping to spread their name further.
They released a debut single, ‘Meat Balloon’, in October 2008 through Big Scary Monsters, followed by a string of other releases on various labels before signing to Transgressive earlier this year, releasing their debut album through the label in June.
Currently part way through tour dates which will take them through to the end of the year, the band will play In The City this week. We caught up with guitarist James Brown to ask the Same Six Questions.
Q1 How did you start out making music?
I started making music from an early age on a four-track tape recorder. I sang about girls and my teen troubles. EMO!
Q2 What inspired your latest album?
Playing live shows, drinking, suffering from ADHD, art. And did I say drinking?
Q3 What process do you go through in creating a track?
It’s a melting pot that the four of us heat and throw ingredients into. Collective and combined.
Q4 Which artists influence your work?
The Jesus Lizard, That Fucking Tank, Nirvana, Radiohead, David Shrigley and the ‘Back To The Future’ trilogy.
Q5 What would you say to someone experiencing your music for the first time?
Please fasten your seatbelt, we’re going to crash.
Q6 What are your ambitions for your latest album, and for the future?
Find my inner being, tour the USA and find a fucking girlfriend.
