Band of Horses

In May 2007, Band of Horses was riding high on the waves of their debut album, "Everything All the Time," which had been released just the year prior. This live performance of "Monsters" at Scala in London showcases the band’s burgeoning sound, blending heartfelt lyricism with anthemic melodies that would eventually define their style. It’s a fascinating snapshot of an early chapter in their journey, a time when they were still establishing themselves in the indie rock scene. The energy in the room that night must have been electric, as the band’s music perfectly captured that mix of longing and nostalgia. Notably, their hit "The Funeral" began to gain traction around this period, leading to their rise in popularity and critical acclaim, making this recording an essential part of their musical history.
