Label Description: Los Angeles indie-punks Jacob the Horse take on the rise of modern fascism, dealing with anxiety, and rallying cries for anarchy and Satan on new album At Least It’s Almost Over (out Mar. 20). It hits that nostalgic sweet spot of classic punk with elements of grunge, while bringing in tight, modern, folk-punk lyrical content that speaks to the time we’re living in now. It sparks equal parts anger and depression, while making sure we’re all having a great time listening. It’s the kind of album that you find at 14-years-old and it changes your life forever, in the same way The Clash did in the ‘70s, Dead Kennedys in the ‘80s, Propagandhi in the ‘90s, Against Me! In the ‘00s and Amyl and the Sniffers today. It’s telling you that it’s okay to be upset, to open your eyes and be part of a movement.


Jacob the Horse is Aviv Rubinstien (guitar, lead vocals), Rick Chapman (drums), Mark Desrosiers (bass) and Josh Fleury (lead guitar). At Least It’s Almost Over was engineered and produced by Jack Shirley (Jeff Rosenstock, Deafheaven, Gouge Away) at The Atomic Garden Recording Studio in San Francisco, and includes several updated re-recordings of previously released songs: “The Black Hand,” Keystone State,” “666 Chicks” “The River,” and “Totally Depressed.”
