Lost a Lot of Blood

Lost A Lot Of Blood is the second EP by Australian alternative rock band Horsell Common. The EP has a more melodic style than the band's previous EP, A Who's Who Road Of Living. However, it was heavier than the band's later releases. Whereas A Who's Who Road contained almost equal amounts of screaming and singing, this EP only has three songs containing screaming ("The Disaster", "Sentenced" and "Dean Youngblood") and on every song the screaming is in the background.[1]

A music video was made for "The Disaster",[2] the band's second video (the first being the video for "In Theory").

"Lost A Lot Of Blood" was included on Horsell Common's final release, the compilation album For Laughter, For Drama. Also included were the A Who's Who Road of Living and Satellite Wonderland EPs, The Birds and the Bees split album with Trial Kennedy, and various B-sides.[3]

Reception

The EP was received quite well in the underground music community. A review at FasterLouder [4] said that Horsell Common "have one up on the rest of the pack – their music comes across as a lot more genuine." The review goes on to say "...the instrumentation is admirable from the three piece, with layered heavy guitars spiralling into tense breakdowns, backed by intermittent machine-gun drumming, and a rhythm section that occasionally belies the heavy direction of the music."
