Hold Your Horse Is are a three piece UK post-hardcore rock band. The band, which consists of Robin Pearson on guitar and vocals, James Penny on bass and Chris Rouse on drums, self-released several EPs before signing to Big Scary Monsters Recording Company in 2011. They released their debut album, ‘Frimley’, which is named after their home town in Hampshire, last year. Radio Alcatraz are also a post-hardcore band, this time from London and Brighton, who combine their discordant sound with political lyrics. They independently released their self recorded debut album 'Populous: In The Belly of the Beast' in August. These photographs from Matt Williams show both bands, supporting Freeze The Atlantic, at a show on the 8th January at The Bull and Gate in London.
