Seattle alt-garage trio HORSEFIGHT<\/strong> are back with their sophomore EP \u2019Haunted\u2019 \u2014 and they’ve brought a lyric video along for the ride. The clip is for closing track Alternative Rock (From 1995 or 6)<\/em><\/strong>, a song that sounds like it was beamed directly out of 1995 and is somehow both a dead-on homage and a lovingly self-aware riff on the whole era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitarist\/vocalist Greg Wood<\/strong> says it best: “This is a love song to mid-90s alternative, even though it might sound mocking. That was sort of the tone of the time, though, so I think it’s appropriate. Those were some of the first songs I learned on guitar, so I decided it was time to write my own version of a mid-90s song. I’ll forever love those bands, and this is my meta tribute with thinly-veiled references.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The track could’ve slipped onto Weezer’s Blue Album without anyone blinking, complete with a pounding four-chord chorus that literally restates its own title. It’s self-referential in the best possible way \u2014 the kind of song that makes you air-guitar involuntarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haunted<\/em> is the follow-up to their 2025 debut EP \u2018Volunteer,\u2019 and the growth is immediately audible. The band \u2014 Wood, bassist\/vocalist Sabine Bischofberger<\/strong>, and drummer Fred Ness<\/strong> \u2014 went bigger in every direction: crunchier guitars, tighter harmonies, and a production focus that gives the whole thing more muscle and dimension. The trio’s self-described mission has always been to fuse late ’60s\/early ’70s classic rock with early ’90s alternative DNA \u2014 think the Stones meeting the Pixies, or T. Rex discovering Pavement \u2014 and on Haunted<\/em>, that synthesis sounds genuinely lived-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bischofberger’s backing vocals are a particular highlight throughout, her voice weaving in and out of Wood’s lead in a way that pushes the whole thing into proper band territory rather than just a guitar project with a rhythm section. The harmonies aren’t wallpaper \u2014 they’re structural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuts like Holy Ghost<\/strong> <\/em>and Ways to Die<\/em><\/strong> let the wilder side off the leash, with heavy guitars and frantic energy that Ness holds together with a bigger, more commanding drum sound than anything on their debut. Meanwhile, So Much Less Than You Bargained For<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 their shortest song, their longest title \u2014 takes the most adventurous structural turn, with phrasing and timing that nods hard at the Pixies and the Breeders. “It’s so much less than you bargained for \/ it’s all worth less than it was before \/ plummeting every day \/ as values always change”<\/em> \u2014 make of that what you will, financially or otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there’s No Reason at All<\/em><\/strong>, where the classic rock side refuses to stay quiet. Wood describes it as an attempt to blend the Stones’ Rocks Off<\/em> with the Pixies’ Debaser<\/em> that somehow came out sounding like Alice Cooper. Honestly? That sounds like a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
