Melbourne, Australia-based duo Super Wild Horses offer a rousing, minimalist take on post-punk-influenced garage pop. Comprised of guitar/drums/keyboards/vocals switch hitters Amy Franz and Hayley McKee, the pair met in 1996 while attending high school. In 2008, the twosome relocated to Melbourne to form the band, releasing a self-titled single the following spring that introduced audiences to their Breeders-esque harmonies and raw-edged arrangements. For their full-length debut, Fifteen, released in 2010, Franz and McKee explored emotional territory dating back to their adolescence, as well as themes of heartbreak and freedom with a subtle political subtext. ~ Chrysta Cherrie
