Horsepower is the project of Brooklyn-based musician Charlotte Weinman, today, they are sharing their first release of 2026, a single called “Force Quit” that was co-produced with Model/Actriz’s Ruben Radlauer. “Force Quit” finds bandleader Charlotte Weinman surrendering to the pain of a faltering relationship in a gutting companion to previous single “Flute”.

2024, saw Horsepower selling out multiple local shows despite having no music out. The band’s debut EP in June 2025, led to support slots with Daffo, Hinds, Goon, and more.

“If “Flute” is about an effortful quest for peace, ‘Force Quit’ is the exhausted surrender. I wanted the song to first unfold cautiously and then completely unravel. When it comes time to unravel, we had a lot of fun making this behemoth wall of guitars. I screamed into the pickups, into the mic we had set up at the amp, and into the vocal mic, and we tucked those all throughout the last section.”
