An Horse is made up of Australian duo Kate Cooper (vocals/guitar) and Damon Cox (vocals/drums), who became friends and rocked out forming this band while working together at a record store. An Horse is one of those bands with catchy songs and depressing lyrics, like Death Cab; they’ve also been compared to Tegan & Sara and The New Pornagraphers, which makes sense since sound mixer Howard Redekopp has worked with these bands as well as An Horse on their 2009 debut, Rearrange Beds. The song “Airport Death,” from their second album Walls, exemplifies the catchy beats-earnest lyrics thing. Check out the video posted here (and also check out their series of Coffee Time videos on their youtube channel) and visit their website (www.anhorse.com) to hear more of their songs and see when they’re touring.

Wildlife Control is an up and coming indie band based out of Brooklyn & San Francisco and sound like Phoenix if Phoenix was made of members of the Ramones.  They “use the internet to communicate and teleportation to play shows on both coasts.”  Above is the video for their first single “Analog or Digital” from their EP, Spin, which was released today.  Check out the EP here or, if you’re in the NYC area, head over to Arlene’s Grocery where they’re doing a Wednesday residency for the month of April.  Hope to see more from these guys soon!
