Horse Chops is an indie rock trio from Newfoundland, Canada, featuring veteran musicians Adam Beardsworth (vocals, guitar), Neil Targett (vocals, bass) and Craig Caines (drums, percussion). On their self-titled debut EP you’ll hear six jangly garage rock songs that stand out for their wit and quirkiness. They’re appealing stories about longing and wonder, full of clever wordplay and relatable pop-cultural references: “I want you // To know that I’ve been noticing your // Led Zeppelin sneakers walking across the floor // And all those // Cryptic runes keep me from getting bored” (from Led Zeppelin Sneakers), “I saw you holding hands with a goth boy // Don’t you understand he’s using you as his toy // For channeling the fear of existence // For using you in satanist experiments” (Goth Boys ), “His t-shirt says The Police / / I heard him say he loves Sting // I think Sting’s a dickweed // But he’s okay at bass I guess” (Creepin’), and so on. Very entertaining.
The self-titled Horse Chops EP, produced & engineered by Neil Targett, is out now digitally (self-released).
