Los Angeles band Molly Horses share the lead single today from their forthcoming Solid Brass Records debut. The track "BABBA" launched earlier via New Noise Magazine HERE. Hear and share "BABBA" on all DSPs HERE.
Molly Horses are a post punk/noise rock band from Los Angeles who have been not so quietly picking up steam across the city’s punk underground. Maybe you saw them at Echo Park Rising in 2024, caught them at other local watering holes like Genghis Cohen, Non Plus Ultra or Redwood Bar, or maybe you heard about them via New Noise when they shared their single “King Dundalk” last year.
Singer/guitarist Harry James (they/them) and guitarist Cormac Shirer Brown had played together in previous bands in their hometown of Portland, Maine. James met drummer Tim Wright (ex: Ted Leo & The Pharmacists and founding member of Baltimore’s Wilderness) on film sets on the east coast before relocating to Los Angeles while Brown met bassist Malcolm Watts (also from Maine) while working together at a cocktail bar in Los Angeles. The four came together in the summer of 2023 to create something angular, noisy, desperate, and methodical. New Noise said they “wail like a police siren with Devo-esque snot-nosed sarcasm” and punksite.com says, “Molly Horses channels the raw urgency and chaos of four people transplanted from small town living and into the beating heart of the City of Angels.”
Drawing influence from the musical precision of Shellac, the DIY ethos of Minutemen, the biting lyricism of The Fall, and visceral discomfort of contemporaries Gilla Band, Molly Horses aims to set themselves apart from expectation. Having extensive backgrounds in sound and audio engineering, the band recorded their debut 6 song EP Clang Clang at their home studio, Train Song, in Los Angeles.
Molly Horses has joined LA label Solid Brass Records to release Clang Clang and continue work on their forthcoming full length album. The band will celebrate the release of Clang Clang on Friday 7/25 with a Desert Daze sponsored Release Show at Gold Diggers with Guck (Three One G Records) and DJ Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile). Follow Molly Horses on Instagram for more details.
Clang Clang will be available on streaming and download on July 25th via Solid Brass Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.
