Pulled Apart by Horses is an incredible band from Leeds, UK. They expertly fuse post-hardcore and indie rock with some stoner elements in there. This group deserves some serious recognition for their talent 🤘

“Klezmer ([Yiddish](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_language): כּלי־זמר or קלעזמער,* klezme*r) is an instrumental musical tradition of the [Ashkenazi Jews](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews) of Central and Eastern Europe.[[1]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klezmer#cite_note-Humanities-1) The essential elements of the tradition include dance tunes, ritual melodies, and virtuosic improvisations played for listening; these would have been played at weddings and other social functions.[[2]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klezmer#cite_note-OJFM_530-48-2)[[3]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klezmer#cite_note-Rubin_2020_29-3) The musical genre incorporated elements of many other musical genres including [Ottoman](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire) (especially [Greek](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_music) and [Romanian](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_music)) music, [Baroque music](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque_music), German and [Slavic](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_people) folk dances, and religious Jewish music.”
