    Anyone listen to these guys, I think they are very cool, I saw them on myspace Y'day so decided to pick up their albums last night. I got "Everytime all the time" and Cease to begin.

    Check out this track , its one of my faves:

    The Funeral

    band of horses new album is out soon i think!

    i loved the 1st album, but thought the second was a little uninspiring (the GF loved it however).

    Got Cease to Begin in January and it's been one of the few albums that hasn't strayed too far from the CD player. Was raging I didn't get to see them at a certain festival. Love that album.

    Didn't know a new one was due so soon. Hopefukky I'll catch them touring with that!

    Excellent band.

    Saw them play here earlier in the year. They seemed to be a bit over whelmed that they were polpular. Had to finish the gig with encores of un-rehearsed songs, which were still amazing.

    Hoping they don't get too popular, but thats the kinda wanker i am.

    Both albums get a back to back play on the ipod.

    Good band. Funeral is an amazing song. Pity they're so boring live apart from Funeral of course;)

    Great band. Cease to Begin has some quality at the start but there are some really dull tracks in the middle. Picks up again towards the end.

    Everything All The Time is far better.

    They aren't bad live. I thought a little flat at times. Never quite warmed to the second album. Maybe it deserves another couple of listens.

    I haven't heard Cease to begin yet but I liked the first album. For a band with such obvious influences, they have quite a distinctive sound. I like the way the vocalist sings. Funeral is the best track.

    Love em. Cease to begin is not as good as Everything all the time but it is still a good listen. Monsters is my fav track.

    Love Band of Horses. Missed them last year. Funeral is some track

    Absolutely amazing band. "Cease to Begin" is eerily good.
    Saw them live recently- their performance actually sent shivers up my spine. Just incredible!

    Would love to have seen them but get the impression they may be a bit of a Ray LaMontagne type live gig, ie. brilliant album, dull performer? Ghost is one of the best tracks methinks. Cease to Begin is the only album I have fallen asleep to (up until one of the louder last songs gives me a minar coronary heart attack every time):eek:

    Dunno anything about this Ray LaMontagne chap, so can't comment but I went to see BOH earlier this year in Tripod and can confirm they were even more brilliant live then they are on album. Fav track was "No one's gonna love you" as well as a superb cover of Ron Wood's Song "Act Together".

    One of the best gigs i've been to in a long time. Don't miss them when they come back.
