Through the course of a year A Horse & His Boy (AHAHB) has evolved from a solo project to a five-piece. At one time involving only samplers, the band has progressed into an impetuous presentation of heavy guitar, melodic basslines, and battling synths, with elaborate drum beats working through the chaos to hold the sound together.
Fronted by two vocalists, one soft and harmonic, yet fierce and at times inspired by a metal background, the other harsh and shameless with aggressive delivery, their contrasting tones work together to create a sound uniquely their own. Songs often reflect on recurring dreams and the past. While maintaining their originality, the group is equally influenced by post-punk, pop, jazz, and experimental genres.
Formed in late 2008, AHAHB is touring Canada in September 2009 to support their first full-length album.
