Biography
Bloodhorse was formed in late 2005 by bassist Matt Woods, guitarist Adam Wentworth, and drummer Alex Garcia-Rivera in Boston, Massachusetts. All three members had previously played together in the hardcore punk band Bars. The three found a musical common ground of Deep Purple and The Who at their first practices.[1] The first 4 songs the band wrote were quickly recorded by the band in their practice space and self-released as a CD demo titled "Black Lung Rising" in April 2006. A year of playing shows throughout the Northeast lead to the band signing with Philadelphia-based label Translation Loss Records in 2007 to release an EP simply titled "EP".[2] In 2009 they released the album Horizoner,[3] while a year later Wentworth and Woods joined All Pigs Must Die.[4] Since 2014, drummer Alex Garcia-Rivera has been releasing solo music under the moniker Chrome Over Brass and also plays in the band Ascend/Descend.[5]
