Something wicked this way comes. The loveably bonkers, bouffanted Horrors have carved a niche in being singularly at odds with the prevailing zeitgeist of inoffensive nice-boys-in-guitar-bands. With their retro musical influences emblazoned on their undertaker’s suit sleeves, they manage to be simultaneously clever and dumbass, aggressive and puny, sharp and unintelligible. The schlock-rockin’ Southenders’ horrorshow leads you down a four-decade ghost ride of speedy freakbeat, mascara’d mod’n’roll, glue punk and backcombed gothabilly, and is as fun and full-on as it gets right now. Raise a glass of something nasty then to The Horrors’ Faris Rotter, Tomethy Furse, Joshua Von Grimm, Spider Webb and Coffin Joe. The Horrors – Strange House, released 05 March 07 on Loog.
