HYH! in the press: "De guitares en violoncelle, de trompette en claviers, le line-up exorbitant de Hold Your Horses! profite de toute l'énergie débordante et communicative de cette fratrie plutôt bohème. Un sourire étrange et accéléré rivé aux lèvres, l'hyperactivité élevée au rang de style de vie, voilà comment ces gars et ces filles ont choisi de vivre - à cent à l'heure et sans se retourner. Magic Hold your horses est une bonne surprise, un groupe qui renoue avec l’époque béni des EP du début des années 90, que l’on achetait pour véroler le Top 50, mais surtout car il y avait un charme que les longs formats ne nous donnaient que rarement. Enfant tout aussi bien des Sugarcubes, du Fall, du Wedding Present de Darryl Ann, des Breeders…. Hold your horses est la combinaison naïve de tout cela, Frais, entrainant, pas pédant pour deux sous, Hold your horses est le disque parfait à refiler à son manager. Un attrape-cœur bancal mais indispensable en cette période morose.

// BIOGRAPHY //
For a little over three years, Hold Your Horses! have been igniting their fireworks in and out of Paris. Combining rock instruments with violin, clarinet, trumpet and keyboard arrangements and boy and girl vocals, this joyful brigade writes and performs in an attempt to master and tame a form of pop that is both beautiful and explosive.
A Hold Your Horses! concert is a unique experience they have shared in the United States, Belgium, Italy and of course in France. The merry crew has spread the love in Paris (Nouveau Casino, Flèche d'Or, Glaz'art, Baron) and across France (Bars en Trans, Rock en Seine, Route du Rock, Printemps de Bourges) After releasing their anagrammed EP 'Sorry ! Household' produced by Villeneuve in June 2011, Hold Your Horses! will release 'Apologize' on the 21st of May, an EP recorded and mixed by Jean-Charles Versari (Les Hurleurs, Versari).
With this EP, Hold your Horses! are continuing to aim for the stars. ‘Apologize’ is a lovely constellation of four songs, four seasons and four movements, in which the band’s trademark is clearly discernible: polyphonic pop that is full of energy and urgency, which will make you move and bring down walls. .

« Nombreux sur scène et avec une sacrée énergie, leur musique folk et dansante nous a très vite donné envie d’en savoir plus sur eux. »
