The band were signed by Transgressive Records in 2009, and released their debut self-titled album Pulled Apart by Horses on 21 June 2010.

[5][6] Pulled Apart By Horses formed after Lee Vincent (Concentration Champ) was contacted by James Brown over a music forum.

They went on to rehearse as a three piece with Robert Lee being invited to play Bass at a practice studio on the outskirts of Leeds city centre.

On 17 May 2008, when headlining Nastyfest IX in Leeds to a packed audience, a chaotic and injury stricken performance took place leading to guitarist James Brown being sent to hospital with a gash to the head.

The band's debut single, "Meat Balloon", was released via Big Scary Monsters Recording Company in October 2008.

The limited edition 7" single came with a free CD and comic, created by the band's singer, Tom Hudson.

Once the band became busy with frequent touring in the UK and Europe they self-released 500 copies a 5 track CD which was only available at shows whilst they were securing a record deal.
