Biography

Amy Franz and Hayley McKee, schoolfriends from Perth, moved to Melbourne to form no-fi band Super Wild Horses following a bratty shouting match in a car.[2] Although initially 'barely being able to play their instruments',[3] 'fashionably of the moment' success[4] was achieved with the aid of Mikey Young of Aarght Records and Eddy Current Suppression Ring recording the debut EP. They became known for loud, raw performances, and their versatility in swapping instruments on stage. Their first album, Fifteen, was released in 2010 as a co release with US record label Hozac HoZac Records and Australia's Aarght Records. It featured in college charts and received good reviews including a favourable Pitchfork mention.[5][6] They embarked on their first tour of America in September 2010.[7]

2013 is slated for a second full-length album release.
