There’s a sure-fire way to this writer’s heart: make sure you include the word “fuck” in at least one of your song titles. But that’s not the only reason why you should dig Leeds troupe Pulled Apart By Horses. Like the way they take the deconstructed rock of Mclusky and slam it together with the nervy energy of Jesus Lizard, like on ‘High Five, Swan Dive, Nose Dive’ which has all the excitement of going on dodgem cars while holding vials of nitro-glycerine.

Elsewhere, the way rock ‘n’ roll is being reconstructed into strange angular shapes comes to the fore on the Bear Vs. Shark swirl of ‘I Punched A Lion In The Throat’, and ‘Moonlit Talons’ is full of the jittery excitement you expect from Red Medicine-era Fugazi, while ‘I've Got a Guest List to Rory O'Hara's Suicide is shot through with a bizarre Snapcase-esque riff, which is nonetheless bloody exhilarating. An assured debut, and if you can’t find enjoyment in ‘Meat Ballons’ off-kilter Romones riff, you need medical attention.
