The lineup of Horace Goes Skiing consists of four London natives who go under the name of Martin, Matthew, Ev, and Duncan. With their use of multi-vocal harmonies and a mature front of pop-punk, comparisons to the likes of Hüsker Dü, J-Church, and Samiam resulted before signing with Pop Kid Records. In 1999, Horace Goes Skiing released their debut single, Domestic Violence, followed by the 2000 live split single with the Porcelain Boys. Later that same year, Pop Kid put out what would have been the band's first full-length, Yeah Right Sure, if various studio problems didn't shorten it to a CDEP. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
