Ruiner Revisits: HORSE the band - The Mechanical Hand #metalsky #hardcoresky
I was on vacation, listening to this album and thinking, you know what? I fucking love talking about music, and I love revisiting my favorite albums. Maybe I should combine these things. And here we are.

I've mentioned the blues-rock-Americana sister act Larkin Poe a few times in previous lists, but I'm a goddamn huge fan. Rebecca and Megan Lovell are consummate guitarists (the latter playing the lap steel, the former playing...
