THEY'VE been described as the British hybrid version of the Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age.

Now Southampton alternative rockers Hercules Morse are set to release their new EP.

Equine Size Comparison will be available on Friday and a Joiners date will follow on September 30.

After forming in late 2014, the quartet dropped their debut EP Edge Of Life in December 2015 and soon picked up a host of superlative reviews; most notably KKKK (4 out of 5) in Kerrang Magazine and 8/10 in Rock Sound Magazine. Five of the six tracks from the EP received airplay from Kerrang Radio and the BBC (6 music and BBC introducing).

Hercules Morse, whose name comes from a character in the children's book Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy, have also performed countless blistering live shows and have shared stages with Turbowolf, Band of Skulls, Brant Bjork (former Kyuss drummer), Tiger Cub, Orange Goblin and Dinosaur Pile Up, as well as appearing on an array of bills with everyone from Calvin Harris and The Go Team, through to Tynchy Stryder and The Streets.

So far in 2016, Hercules Morse have also supported Radio One DJ Huw Stephens, Post-hardcore behemoths Black Peaks and former Iron Maiden singer Blaze Bayley, as well as performing on the main stage of Southampton 's own Common People, alongside bands such as Duran Duran and Primal Scream.

Equine Size Comparison includes the forthcoming singles Asleep At the Wheel and Do It Right.
