Pulled Apart By Horses formed after lead singer Tom Hudson's old band Mother Vulpine (in which he played bass) broke up. After their formation in early 2008, the band rehearsed above 'The Packhorse' pub in Leeds which was also where they performed their first secret show to a full house of attendees who had been invited by text message at the Brudenell Social Club on 13 February 2008. After a slot at Manfest 2008 alongside band friends "That Fucking Tank" they soon began to get good press, gig offers and a quickly growing fan base. They also began to be known for their very frantic live performances in which bandmates have been known to get injured. On 17 May 2008, they headlined Nastyfest IX in Leeds to a packed audience of onlookers where a chaotic and injury stricken performance took place involving guitarist James Brown being sent to hospital after a gash to the head which involved his head being cracked open. Their music is a combination of heavy riff based guitar work infused with disco licks and pounding drum rhythms.
The band's debut single, 'Meat Balloon', was released via Big Scary Monsters Recording Company in October 2008. It debuted at #18 on the UK Indie Singles chart. The limited edition 7" single came with a free CD and comic, created by the bands singer, Tom Hudson.
In January 2009 PABH released their single "I Punched A Lion In The Throat" on 7", with b-side "The Crapsons". The song was also made available as a free download on the bands official website.[1]
Soon after that the band released the 'Tour Traxx EP'.
On 21 March, Transgressive Records announced the release of a strictly limited 12" vinyl release titled 'Live At Leeds' to be released on Record Store Day 17 April in the UK. The record would appear to borrow the idea from The Who classic album with artwork and packaging being similar.
Their eponymous debut album was released on 21 June 2010, and the band were personally invited by Muse to support them on their UK tour.[2] They also toured with post-hardcore band Biffy Clyro.
The band are due to release their upcoming album, Tough Love on 23 January 2012 and have recently released the lead single V.E.N.O.M from the album.[3]
