LEEEEEEEEEDS! Is a good place. Pulled Apart By Horses are a good band. And a generous one, too. In celebration of the much mentioned Record Store Day they're releasing a limited edition (obviously) 12" slab of music, with tracks taken from a live performance in Leeds last month. On March 7, to be precise. Were you there? Do you know anybody who was?!
Anyway, the people in the band have, and continue to, put up free mp3s of tracks from it for you to download. The other day it was the turn of RCRD LBL and NME.com. But today it's ours. DROWNED IN SOUND! The track available from RCRD LBL can be obtained here - that's for the wonderfully titled 'I Punched A Lion In The Throat' - and the one from NME here - that's for 'Get Off My Ghost Train'.
The track we have for you to download is 'E=MC Hammer', my favourite PABH track. Huzzah. Geddit below:
All tracks will eventually be made downloadable from the Transgressive Website. So stay tuned to that channel for the relevant information.
