Bands I Think Are Cool

HORSE the band, is an incredibly cool and hilarious band. I mean, even the name is humorous to me. They’re from the west coast, USA and play a type of experimental metalcore. The interesting thing about them though is there is one member of the band, who amazingly looks a lot like Napoleon Dynamyte, but more amazingly the instrument he plays is a synth keyboard hooked up to a “Little Sound DJ” which allows him to connect a gameboy catridge to make a whole host of 8bit sounds.
Early in their existence they labelled them selves as “nintendocore” jokingly. However, many of their song names or meanings are game references. “Birdo”, “House of Boo”, “Cutsman (megaman)”. Some of their songs have some pretty funny lyrics, and some are just beautiful, all while being ridiculously chaotic. I love it!
Horse the band are currently on EARTH tour, where they are planning to play in 45 countries self funded, mainly because “No one wants to tour with them, they are scared of us” haha.
Anyway here is the bands video clip for the song “A million exploding suns” a reference to xmen sentinels. The clip is soooo stupid. Kinda cool ending though.
I will just remind you, this is not some fan video, its the band’s actual video they produced. lol…
