The Horrors

The Horrors are a British rock band that formed in the mid-2000s, known for their dark and moody take on garage rock and post-punk revival, with a penchant for evolving their sound across genres. Initially recognized for their gothic image and surf-inspired horror punk found on their debut album "Strange House" (2007), the band has consistently expanded their sonic palette, embracing elements of shoegaze, electronica, and psychedelic rock. Comprised of lead vocalist Faris Badwan, guitarist Joshua Hayward, keyboardist Tom Cowan, bassist Rhys Webb, and drummer (and later on, synthesizer operator) Joseph Spurgeon, The Horrors quickly established themselves as a dynamic force in the independent music scene.

With each new release, The Horrors have showcased their willingness to re-invent and challenge their musical output which has garnered them both critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. Notable albums such as "Primary Colours" (2009) and "Skying" (2011) have defined their capacity to blend the abrasive with the ethereal, yielding a sound that is simultaneously nostalgic and forward-thinking. The band's most recent releases, including the "Against The Blade" and "Lout" EPs, indicate a heavier, more industrial sound, underpinning their fearless approach to genre and artistic progression. Additionally, "V - Remixed" features reimagined versions of tracks from their critically lauded fifth studio album "V" (2017), emphasizing their music's adaptability and the respect they garner from fellow artists in the remix community.
