Bearded brilliance
Bearded boys Band of Horses make it to Reading and Leeds on the back of their third and most successful album to date, Infinite Arms. First formed in 2004 in Seattle by lead vocalist Ben Bridwell, Band of Horses charmed the indie rock set with their pastoral leaning debut Everything All The Time and follow up, Cease To Begin. After some personnel changes, the current line up released their latest album which was recorded in North Carolina and California. Featuring soaring vocals and harmonies on Factory and the rollicking single Compliments, Band of Horses have had a significant breakthrough with this latest and more rounded effort. Fans of Fleet Foxes and Kings of Leon won't want to miss their set on the NME/Radio 1 Stage at Reading and Leeds.
