Whitehorse at The Castle, Macclesfield

Selling out their first show in Manchester before even announcing their existence as a band, former frontman of The Blinders, Thomas Haywood, begins the inevitable next chapter with new outfit Whitehorse. 

The band was formed in Sheffield along with John McCullagh, Bobby Glaister, Nathan Keeble, and James Keith.Sonically they walk a tightrope, sitting somewhere between careful musical arrangement and an underlying visceral energy that could be forward-rolled into at any moment. Self-described as “dark and stormy like the drink”, the name Whitehorse was inspired by “what happens to the sea when it comes into shore.”
