Pools

Bred in Lismore and based in Sydney, four-piece Zeahorse fuse apocalyptic noise-rock, propulsive post-hardcore, industrial sludge and guttural grunge on their debut album, 'Pools'. Channelling the twisted energy of classic acts like Slint, Fugazi and The Jesus Lizard, 'Pools' is a record that delivers on Zeahorse's famed live experience with a punctuated aggression that ebbs and flows seamlessly through the thick mud of solitary confinement to the fractured kaleidoscopics of smoking a joint and staring into the sun. Expert in execution yet punk in ethos, Zeahorse stands unique in the local landscape: transforming routine tales of 30th birthdays and makeovers into storms of discontent and belting fists of sensory experience. Unlike anything you've heard this year, 'Pools' is a beautiful atrocity.
