Selling out their first show before even announcing their existence as a band, former frontman of The Blinders, Thomas Haywood, begins the inevitable next chapter with new outfit Whitehorse.

The music is “image related” and “instinct based”, tapping into a “hypnotic, swirling feeling” which one can slip away into whilst listening, and is matched emotionally with a poetic lyricism.

Sonically they walk a tightrope, sitting somewhere between careful musical arrangement and an underlying visceral energy that could be forward-rolled into at any moment. Self-described as “Dark and stormy like the drink”, the name Whitehorse was inspired by “what happens to the sea when it comes into shore.”
