    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    These guys sound like a complete rip off of MMJ... Am I the only one who thinks this?

    i can't wait, even though i was slightly disappointed by in their acoustic set at carnegie hall last year. pj really has a knack for touring with my other favorite bands (sleater-kinney, my morning jacket, and now boh!)

    Listening to the wrong MMJ songs. Im not a big fan of their slow stuff, but they are amazing live when they rock. Pearl Jam level of good, BoH? Really? Hmmm...

    Band of Horses 3.18.2010 JamBase Review of SXSW show...

    "Another group with a new album coming soon (Infinite Arms out May 17 on Columbia), Band of Horses also toil in emotion's murky waters. Ben Bridwell and his Horses aren't afraid to get their hands dirty digging through dark soil, but like Broken Social Scene, there's resolution and joy in the end. Starting their set at Stubb's with "Is There A Ghost" and "Great Salt Lake," it didn't take long for the giant guitars and powerful vocals to capture the sprawling crowd's attention. And when the girl next to me grabbed her boyfriend's arm and said, "I'm sooo excited. I love this band," it was clear this music speaks to people. Like art in general, it's a difficult thing to quantify or explain. Why does a certain selection of notes or set of words make us feel what it does? What is it about certain songs that allow them to touch us so deeply? Hard to say, but when you feel it, there's no mistaking it. Band of Horses staples "The Funeral," "No One's Gonna Love You" and "Marry Song" were coupled with a Yo La Tengo cover and two new songs. The first new track was a mid-tempo burner pulled tight with emotion and the second was a foot-stomping country rock number with a heavy dose of organ; both show great promise for the upcoming album. More than even the sweet material Bridwell is coming up with, what makes Band of Horses so great right now is that they are a real band and they're finding their power. The lineup went through a number of changes before arriving at this unit and every time I've seen this band over the past year or two they've gotten better and better."
