Music: Why Horses?' "I've Got a Fever": A Live Prescription for Post-Punk Catharsis

Why Horses? is an indie-rock band from the UK that crafts raw, emotionally resonant music with a post-punk edge. They've built a reputation for their heartfelt lyrics and a dynamic, guitar-driven sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Their music often explores themes of anxiety, love, and the struggles of modern life with a fierce, unapologetic energy.

The song "I've got a fever" is a track that perfectly captures the band's spirit, especially in this live recording from Porters. The title itself suggests a feeling of being overwhelmed, a physical manifestation of emotional turmoil. The lyrics are a raw and honest exploration of this feeling, and the live performance adds a layer of unfiltered energy. The track's sound builds from a more reflective, melodic intro to an explosive, guitar-heavy chorus, creating a sense of catharsis that mirrors the emotional journey of the lyrics. It's a track that feels both intimate and universal, a testament to the band's ability to turn personal experiences into a powerful, shared musical experience.
