"Wild organ solos and fuzz-guitar splashes vie with primo teen screaming for volume supremacy makes this a real find" .... Paul Martin  - Shindig #34

Undoubtedly the most exciting mid sixties garage album to be recently discovered in the genre, is that by The Horde from North Carolina. The existence of this self produced album came to collectors’ ears and eyes only about a year ago. It was recorded more or less accidentally in early 1967, released in a micro quantity of only 25 copies and among the local US garage albums of the decade it is one of the few eclectic examples with all the ingredients that makes it outstanding compared with the usual prep-school albums of the time.

It contains a blend of exciting originals and well chosen, inspired covers, played in a raw, crude and frantic style. If ever it were true that the over-used assertion that a band’s cover versions measured up to the originals, then it is true of The Horde. Why? These five 19-20 year old students from all over the United States did not only blaze a trail for 60s rock in then conservative North Carolina, they also had a general attitude that finds its origins in the young people’s mindset of the mid-sixties that put them outside of the local mainstream and gained them a sort of regional underground popularity.

Break-A-Way has now reissued this original 1967 sought after LP with three different coloured covers of 100 copies each. Like the first press, all LPs have a four-page insert detailing the complete history of the band and loads of rare pictures.

Press Buttons Firmly” to find out why the Horde LP is not only rare, but also deserves to be called, “one of the sharpest local garage punk albums of the Sixties”
