Swirling guitar riffs and synthesizer beats are The Horrors' MO, giving psychedelia and goth a contemporary revamp. The band borrows liberally from the distortion-layered rock of '80s shoegaze outfits like My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Anyone who is a fan of those influences will fall in love with these talented up-and-comers. Buy The Horrors tickets now!
Forming in 2005, The Horrors couldn't help but attract attention. Their black clothes and tousled emo mops earned them some detractors in the press (as if having a lead singer called Spider Webb wasn't enough), but they had music to back up their image. Their debut, 2007's Strange House, silenced their critics, and earned "wait and see" responses on both sides of the Atlantic.
While their first record was soaked in black, The Horrors follow-up with a record entitled Primary Colours. But make no mistake—the band's dark music hadn't lost its charm. Their update on post-punk earned them a lot of notice in America, widening their fan base immensely. If you haven't had the chance to see them before, grab concert tickets and hear their latest music.
