Emerging from Glasgow’s independent music scene, Diving Horse are making waves with their blend of thoughtful lyrics and infectious post-punk rhythms.
With influences that range from The National’s artful indie rock to LCD Soundystem’s propulsive beats, Diving Horse produce music that straddles pop, indie and post-punk. Songs such as ‘You and I the Universe’ and ‘Big Sands’ already demonstrate the band’s ability to craft unique and memorable songs.
Diving Horse released three singles in 2023, and have focussed on building their fanbase in their hometown of Glasgow by playing celebrated venues such as Stereo and Broadcast. They closed 2023 by performing at the latter’s Hogmanay party.
In April 2024 the band released ‘I Don’t Need the Lord’ and ‘Sometimes I Feel Like a Fool’ is set for release on 2 August 2024. They have been featured in Scotland on Sunday’s ‘Under the Radar’ column, SNACKmag and have received support from Jim Gellatly.
The band continue to perform and have shared a bill with artists such as Trees Speak and Radio Free Alice. They also performed at their first festival in July 2024.
Diving Horse are next live on 21 August at Glasgow’s Nice and Sleazy.
