The Horrors

Overview

The big haired, skinny jeaned UK outfit The Horrors are all pomp and dark romance. From the scuzzy thrash punk beginnings of their debut Strange House, they exploded in the UK with some serious NME cover time and have built a solid following around the world. They released Primary Colours last year, which saw them leaning more towards the sounds of post-punk/new romantics like Nick Cave and Joy Division, and shoe-gazers like My Bloody Valentine. The album was lauded by critics as phenomenal and it is really a fantastically moody yet poppy gem with aggressive but catchy hooks left right and centre. If you want to avoid the sweaty masses at the BDO then catch The Horrors' side show at the OAF.
