Line 24:
* ''Folklore'' (2002)
* ''Olden'' (2003): A compilation of the band's early demos.
* ''Live March 2001'' (2008): [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Another live album.]]
 
Post breakup, David Eugene Edwards focused on his musical project [[Woven Hand]] (which has become a [[Spiritual Successor]] to 16HP). Pascal Humbert started the band Lilium with help from Jean-Yves Tola, then Pascal joined Woven Hand in 2007.
Line 38:
* [[Face of the Band]]: David Eugene Edwards. [http://www.16horsepower.com/loladamusica.html A Netherlands TV documentary], ostensibly about the band, focused on DEE's home life and never gave the other members a single chance to speak.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: DEE's lyrics hew very close to [[The Bible]], so God is portrayed as both supremely good and (per fan consensus) scary as hell.
* [[A Good Name for Aa Rock Band]]: It's a reference to a folk song: the coffin of a beloved being borne to the grave by sixteen horses. For a very brief period, their name was just Horsepower--they changed because too many people thought it was a drug reference.
* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]: [[Goth Rock]] meets [[Country Music]].
* [[Reviewer Stock Phrases]]: Did you know that David Eugene Edwards is the grandson of a fire-and-brimstone Nazarene preacher? Good luck finding a 16HP album review that doesn't bring it up.
