Suggested Listening: The first song I ever heard by them was “Is There a Ghost,” but “No One’s Gonna Love You” was the song that drew me in. I am all about starting at the beginning, but these are a few of my favorites:
Physical Reaction/Live Show: I absolutely love Band of Horses, and this will be my fifth time seeing them live. They are definitely a more chill live show. They play all of their radio hits and really put it all out. They always seem to be enjoying themselves when playing. They would be the perfect early evening band, to chill out and listen to, while sitting in the grass with friends. Personal Notes: I am big on lyrics and songwriting, and this band just does it for me. The lyric are so romantic and wistful and the combination of Ben’s voice with the accompanying harmonies makes them one of my favorite bands. I cannot wait to see them again, they always put on such a great show.
