Whitehorse

Selling out their first show before even announcing their existence as a band, former frontman of The Blinders, Thomas Haywood, begins the inevitable next chapter with new outfit Whitehorse. The music is image related and instinct based, tapping into a hypnotic, swirling feeling which one can slip away into whilst listening, and is matched emotionally with a poetic lyricism. Sonically they walk a tightrope, sitting somewhere between careful musical arrangement and an underlying visceral energy that could be forward-rolled into at any moment. Self-described as Dark and stormy like the drink, the name Whitehorse was inspired by what happens to the sea when it comes into shore. The band was formed in Sheffield along with John McCullagh, Bobby Glaister, Nathan Keeble, and James Keith.
