An Horse

When a band is discovered by Tegan & Sara, you probably know that ATH is going to jump all over them.  Such is the case with Australian act An Horse.  Apparently the story goes that the Quin sisters met the duo while on tour in the land down under and brought them back to tour the states.  After the band’s first stint in the US, the media has been hot on their trail to tag them as the next big thing.  Big time or not, An Horse have one EP already in stores and their debut LP Rearrange Beds is available for purchase now via iTunes.  The physical release of the album won’t be until mid March, so if time and money are an issue, let us hook you up with new song “Postcards”.
