Pulled Apart By Horses Announce New Album & UK Tour Dates

Leeds-based rock trio Pulled Apart By Horses have revealed details of their forthcoming fifth album, Reality Cheques, which is set for release on 30th September via Alcopop! Records. Having already performed incendiary live sets at 2000 Trees and Truck Festival this summer, the band also today announce an extensive run of UK headline tour dates in support of the new record. The band will also be releasing a limited edition 7″ vinyl AA side single featuring the previously-released A side, First World Problems, and AA side single, Rinse & Repeat, will be released on a 600 limited edition press of black and clear vinyl on the 19th August, with the artwork hand-screen printed by the band.

Serving as the sonic blueprint for the next Pulled Apart By Horses chapter, the new single was inspired by late ’70s garage rock, post-punk, and heavy weight rockers like Iggy And The Stooges, The Rolling Stones, Bowie and The Cramps. Commenting on the band’s evolution for the new record, vocalist Tom Hudson says: “Our musical tastes change monthly, never mind over the course of the years, so we are never going to be the kind of band who’d do the same album every time. We’ve always been that band that are ‘too heavy for the indie kids, and too indie for the heavy kids’ in industry terms, but it’s quite cool that people don’t really know where to put us, because it means no-one can easily slap a genre name upon us. Now we have the freedom to just be who we are.”

After a period of rest, reflection and transformation, in 2021 Pulled Apart By Horses signed to their new home at Alcopop! Records for the release of their long-awaited forthcoming fifth studio album in 2022, with further details of the record to be revealed over the coming months. With the trials and tribulations of their critically acclaimed fourth album, The Haze, behind them, Pulled Apart By Horses have emphatically returned, and are approaching 2022 with fresh perspectives, open minds, and a flurry of creativity, writing new songs, defining their sound and wrestling back control of their own artistic process.
