Ghent, Belgium’s Horses On Fire saw the light when Thijs De Cloedt (guitars) and Michele De Feudis (lead vocals, guitars) met in the hallways of an art school in 2008.

They hit it off with a mutual adoration for both rootsy and modern rock.

Shortly after Michele brought in his younger brother Alessandro (drums), with whom he played in bands since their childhood days, Alessandro’s friend Anthony Statius joined on bass and they began playing bars and clubs in Flanders.

With initially a mix of heavy stoner riffs and hard rock grooves they made the finals of Global Battle of the Bands in and that got them a gig in London’s Scala at King’s Cross.

They recorded the Electric Orphans EP in the Red Tape Studios with the help of Triggerfinger’s Monsieur Paul, quickly followed by their self-titled debut album, produced by Wallace Vanborn’s Ian Clement and released on V2 Records in February 2012.

The album got them shows across Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Switzerland and Italy, supporting the likes of Band of Skulls, Rival Sons, Mark Lanegan Band, The Stranglers, Status Quo and Triggerfinger.

The Horses also made their debut on Dutch national television that year with their single ‘Draw The line’.
They spent the summer of 2013 in Brussels’ Jet Studios and Ghent’s infamous Audiotheque studios to record their second album ‘Any Kind Of Storm”. In search of a more versatile sound, they recruited producer Stéphane Misseghers, known for battering the drums with Soulwax and since 2005 with Antwerp’s finest dEUS.
Shifting to a more danceable, energetic, exploding, poppy but still kick-in-the-nuts rock approach Horses On Fire are bastard sons to Belgium’s booming alternative rock scene, British pop rock and some American mainstream.

STRANGER PEAKS

Solid Steel in association with Serato (31st August) 3 years ago Solid Steel DJs Cheeba, Moneyshot and Food had the idea of collaborating on a version of the Beastie Boys‘ ‘Paul’s Boutique’ album made entirely from the original sample sources, shortly after Moneyshot aired his mix of their ‘Check Your Head’ album in the same way. 

Finally the result is here, titled ‘Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix’ - each of them have taken a third of the album to work on and combined their efforts into a mix that will make you hear it in a new way. Aside from the original sample sources they’ve included commentary from the Beasties, vintage interviews, demo versions and much more.

The mix was over half way completed when they heard the tragic news of MCA‘s death in May so the impetus to finish it was instantly doubled and new meaning given to the project. It goes without saying that this is also a tribute to Adam Yauch and the legacy he left behind and we hope it will be embraced by Beastie fans around the globe.
