Horris Green: The Dog Line

The combination of blues and thrash theoretically shouldn’t be a good match but Ballarat duo Horris Green make it seem effortless on their new EP The Dog Line. The band has come a long way since their first EP, having since supported legends such as The Smith Street Band, Apes and Clowns. ‘Boy’, the third track on the EP, encapsulates the band’s unique sound. The track starts off with a soft walking bass line, typical of the blues genre. Lachlan Murphy’s crooning vocals then leads the song into a quintessential head-banging chorus.

‘Kind Enough To Wait’ is another track that’s hard not to nod along to. The repetition of lyrics such as “it’s not my problem” creates the sense of a great rock chorus that’s easy to sing along to. A forewarning; the music video to this song will make you want to buy a ticket to see the band live.

The sounds on The Dog Line are mature and cleverly crafted. If Horris Green continue to write such good songs as these, they will only go far. The boys are taking this EP on the road, make sure you catch them at Melbourne, Warrnambool, Bendigo or Ballarat.
