The Horrors
Strange House CD
2007 Stolen Transmission

Revival of Sonics-style garage punk. Surf guitars and farfisa organs, not trying to be as deliciously camp as The Ghastly Ones, they still manage to throw in all the funeral-chic references they can - with a name like The Horrors, that's par for the course. Gritty guitar riffs and raw rhythms backed by A big heavy bass sound pitches in a hint of Nick Cave (who's also gone back to a simpler more classic sound with his new Grinderman project).

The Horrors' kitch and formulaic sounds, including a requisite cover of Jack The Ripper, shouldn't detract from the simple fact that its loud, punchy, black-clad rock and roll. While those equipped with a full collection of The Fuzztones, The Sonics and Birthday Party might not be phased by The Horrors, they manage to bring the genre to an overly indie-emo saturated generation.
