You know who you are, hipsters.
And so do we.
Mainly because you go around wearing beards and glasses. And riding bicycles.
(Bravo, Horse & Hammer.) - Huffington Post
“Can I brush it?”
Horse & Hammer has released a music video for “Beard & Glasses,” the band’s new comedy song about hipsters, beards and glasses. The single track is available to purchase online from iTunes. - Laughing Squid
Horse & Hammer are damn proud of their fave facial accessories: their beards and glasses, so they of course wrote a song about it. If it weren’t for the glasses and bow tie parts we might have had a No-Shave November anthem on our hands. - The Awesomer
Horse and Hammer. They're a musical comedy duo otherwise known as Ben Johnson and Eric Daniel Schiffman. You can hardly blame them for wanting to affectionately mock the hipster beard and glasses trend you've seen everywhere the last few years with a goofy song and video. Sure, they've got a sense of humor, but the fact is, these guys look great with their beards and glasses, too. Even if you don't like the song enough to buy it, you can always get a t-shirt. - Any Major Dude Will Tell You
As someone who has a beard, glasses and a drawer full of bow ties this really made me laugh. - The Grooming Guru
Horse & Hammer (remember Beard and Glasses?) are back at it with Christmas Twerk. Imagine yourself at a holiday party that was as much fun as this one in the video looks. I just want to try that egg nog bong. - Denver Frank
Just when you thought you finally knew what twerking was, the entire North Pole shows up to prove you wrong.
Since the October release of their “hipster” satire, “Beard & Glasses,” Horse & Hammer has been featured on E! News, MTV U, Huffington Post, and Laughing Squid.
The world may have watched “Beard & Glasses” but there’s no way they could have seen what was coming next.
Created from the belly of Santa’s Twerk Shop, Horse & Hammer packages a special gift for this holiday season. Their new video, “Christmas Twerk,” will have you laughing harder than Santa in a tickle-fight. Egg nog drenched, wall twerking appearances by The Grinch, Frosty, the Gingerbread man, and a half naked elf are the tree topper of this outrageous Christmas carol. Before you know it, you too will be Twerkin’ the Walls with boughs of holly.
Hang up those stockings, light up that tree, and join in with Santa and his entourage as they go to twerk on Christmas! - Buzznet

Bio
With a name like “Horse & Hammer,” you’d think an epic tale of heroics would be in order, and you’d be right. Hilarity can save anybody’s day. The story of Horse & Hammer began with a simple conversation about the recent epidemic of our generation, “Hipsters.” That simple kitchen table conversation became the muse for their song entitled, “Beard & Glasses.”
Once written, the comedic duo teamed up with longtime friend Matthew Underwood, film director at Revolution Pictures, to create their music video. With music and video production complete on their debut single, it was time for “Beard & Glasses” to go public.
Within hours of the release, YouTube views had skyrocketed into the tens of thousands. Due to their viral success, “Beard & Glasses” rapidly gained the attention of blogs such as Huffington Post and Laughing Squid. E! News and MTV also gained a quick affinity toward the rising comedic duo.
With the wind of momentum at their backs, and Christmas being just around the corner, Horse & Hammer quickly began writing their follow-up single, “Christmas Twerk.” Once again, they teamed up with Matthew Underwood to create the holiday-hit video of the year.
As laughter continues to roll in, Horse & Hammer has continued to write and perform new songs such as “Mad Props” and “White Boy Booty.” From studio to stage, their serious sarcasm has created the demand for a multi-song release. The self-titled EP “Horse & Hammer” will be available in the spring of 2015.
