Hey all,

Well, it's finally happening. The album is hitting UK stores - cool indies like Spillers in Cardiff, and more major ones - on Monday, November 3rd. It's exciting stuff. The record is also available on Amazon, play.com & HMV's website. It's quite strange being signed (non-exclusive) to an Aussie indie label and finally getting the record in shops in the UK, of all places. A potential Aussie release is on the horizon after the UK one, but pretty stoked about this now. Genepool/Universal are taking care of the distribution. The full press release is below.

If you love the tracks, it'd mean a lot to the Horse if you walk into your local store and demand a copy!

Thank u, thank u, Horserines!

PRESS RELEASE

CRACK HORSE

Crack Horse (cover)

FOR IMMEDIATE USE / ALBUM REVIEW

he self-titled debut album by Crack Horse is released in the UK on Monday

3 November 2008 on Australian indie label Dead Famous (distributed in the UK by Gene Pool).

According to Nirvana/Soundgarden producer Jack Endino, Crack Horse is a “great band name”. Given how addictive the music is, the ‘crack’ is also highly appropriate.

A heady cocktail of pop-rock and occasional disco to light up your nights, Crack Horse combines high-energy, dancefloor-filling beats, punchy riffs and brassy brass with wonderful melodies to create instantly accessible tunes that aren’t just catchy – they’re infectious.

The 12-track debut's blistering power-pop opener This Song Might Save The Planet sets the scene for an album packed with fresh ideas and brilliant tunes. “It’s a great song,” says Dave Catching of Queens of the Stone Age / Eagles of Death Metal. “Maybe it will save my life.”

The album is available now on iTunes, Play.com, Amazon.co.uk and HMV’s website. From 3 November Crack Horse can be bought on the UK’s high streets, most likely from UK independent record stores like Cardiff’s beloved Spillers.
