A 16 Horsepower live concert was one of the most intense musical experiences you can ever witness. While it is always difficult for a great live band to capture their stage brilliance on record, Hoarse succeeds on every level. Apart from a great selection of songs from the bands' alltime classics Low Estate and Sackloth’n’Ashes they play three cover-versions that will make your jaw drop: "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Fire Spirit" by The Gun Club and a mega-intense "Day Of The Lords" by Joy Divison.
If you've seen the band live on stage you'll know the magic of a 16 Horsepower show. Hoarse is one of these rare live albums catching moments in its power and intensity. This album is the essence of 16 Horsepower, a record in a class of its own close to milestones like The Doors‘ "Absolutely Live", Bob Dylan’s "Royal Albert Hall", or Hendrix‘ "Band of Gypsys".
