High-quality, nervy indie rock. Compare them to Iggy and the Stooges or the Libertines, they ravage through an energetic set complete with a howler on vocals. Loud, gnarly guitar solos would make Ron Asheton wail on air guitar.

Mail the Horse is grunge gospel/country rock music that comes from a basement in Brooklyn, NY. With inter-weaving melodies, a delicate balance of back-beat soul and freak out improvisation, and the ability to bring a song from subtle beginnings to understated rock n' roll overdrive, Mail the Horse packs a punch of equal parts love and hate; companionship and betrayal. Their new 12" LP, Great Kills, plays like a collection of love songs to the failure of love, and while there is little love on this record there is plenty of proof that it exists. Sonically the band has one foot grounded in the tradition of master craftsmen like Bob and Bruce, but this is clearly a band that listens and understands that great rock music is always changing. Great Kills is sturdy, reliable rock and roll that still demands you to listen to better music than your parents did.
