A five piece "Nintendocore" band from LA,
California. The reason they have been coined as a
Nintendo related band is because through out there selection of albums and E.Ps there have been a handful of video game references.
1. pol's voice
An enemy that appears fairly late in NES's "Legend of Zelda".
2. Birdo
The first boss in Super Mario Bros 2. (America)
3. The house of boo (questionable)
Boo is a character from various
Mario games.
4. there most famous song "cutsman"
Cutman is the real name of a character from the Megaman series.
"There are
Nintendo references in 3 of our songs: Cutsman, Pol’s Voice, Birdo--they serve as metaphors for something else that is important in
Nathan’s life." - David Isen

HORSE the band is extremely energetic and are always drunk, at least at shows. they almost always end with "cutsman", and due to popular belief, they fucking hate when that song is requested for various and obvious reasons.
HORSE the band is a very funny group of people, they often make great, and in depth/immature jokes on stage and in interviews.
i.e
"Alright, so I guess the best place to star…"
N: Fuck you! (Laughs) I'm sorry. No, I'm not really sorry, keep going.
"
HORSE the band is five stellar gods running from a haunted future they can't possibly forget. Formed on the mean streets of Los Angeles in 2027 A.D. the members of H the B began to create their exotic sound to fight the past and recreate the future." - myspace.com/horsetheband
