Pulled Apart By Horses

Truck Festival 2022

by

After three years the amazing Truck Festival came back too Hill Farm in Steventon, Oxfordshire. The past 3 years had been affected by COVID which meant the event could not take place. This year also celebrated its 25th Anniversary so the organisers had to make sure it was the best!! The three and a half day event had a huge lineup with Blossoms headlining the Thursday night. Bombay Bicycle Club on Friday, Sam Fender and The Kooks co-headlining on the Saturday and the weekend ended with Kasabian and a firework display on the Sunday night. Bands, Artists, Comedians etc all performed on several stages across the site. There was the Main Stage, Market Stage hosted by So Young Magazine, Thie Feeling, The Nest, Virgins and Veterans, The Rockin Chair and The Tap Room.

Across the site had a wide variety of all cuisines for everyone. The local community also have a big food tent with their homecooked food which they have served there for several years and all profits got to charity.

There was plenty for everyone to do. Familys with young children could go to the childrens area which had activities and shows on for them all to enjoy. There were stalls with makeup, clothes, accessories and more for everyone to dress up in their proper festival gear.

Our photographer Kane Howie was at the festival to document the weekend. You can check out his photos below.

Tickets for next years event are available at https://truckfestival.com/ the festival will take place at the same location on July 21st-23rd.

by

Dr. Martens is thrilled to announce an excursion into Europe with a five-city tour across five countries as the Dr. Martens #standforsomething tour rolls out for the first time into mainland Europe from 8th September.

Dr. Martens are offering music fans an opportunity to win tickets to the #standforsomething tour to watch Pulled Apart By Horses and Dinosaur Pile Up in Paris on 8th September. 

The winners will also get the chance to visit DM’s original factory in Northamptonshire to make their own pair of vintage DM’s.

Prize includes Travel and Accommodation. T&C’s apply. Go to www.drmartens.com/standforsomethingtour                                                  

The tour will be headlined by one of the UK’s most exciting Indie Rock bands – PULLED APART BY HORSES –  whose new album ‘Blood’ is released on 1st September. Receiving its debut on Radio 1 as ‘the hottest record in the world’ on Zane Lowe’s show, PULLED APART BY HORSES have recently unveiled the first single from the album, called ‘Hot Squash’.

What do PULLED APART BY HORSES stand for?

‘We stand for using rock music as a joyous, cathartic release. Uniting every beautiful soul in the room. And riffs. Lots of riffs’ – Lee Vincent, Drummer.

Joining them on the tour bus is DINOSAUR PILE UP.  Founded in 2007, DPU are an English alternative rock band who broke out of the thriving Leeds rock scene of the time and instantly drew favourable comparisons to the cream of 90s US college rock. The band have released two amazing albums in ‘Growing Pains’ and ‘Nature Nurture’ and are one of the most explosive live acts around.

What Do DINOSAUR PILE UP Stand For?

"I'd love to say we stand for something profound, but really we're just three dudes that wanna kick it as hard as we can. No agenda, no egos. We've never fit in too much and that's why we stick together. Weird is good. Be your own gang." – Matt Bigland” – vocals / Guitar

The Dr. Martens #STANDFORSOMETHING tour will be hosting gigs with one simple promise – the most rousing live acts in tiny venues, giving music lovers the chance to see some of the UK’s most exciting acts up close and personal.

8th September –  Maroquinerie, Paris
