Biografía de The Horrors

The Horrors are an indie rock band that formed in 2005, in Southend on Sea, England. The band consists of Faris Badwan, Tom Cowan, Joshua Hayward, Joseph Spurgeon and Rhys Webb.

The band’s style has been largely debated, leading to quite a number of genres being thrown around, including indie rock, neo-psychedelia, post-punk revival, shoegaze, gothic rock, dream pop, garage punk and horror punk. An eclectic mix indeed!

The boys first joined forces in 2005, performing for small audiences in underground clubs across London and the South. The band’s first big live performance was at The Spread Eagle on Kingsland Road in London on 16 August 2005. The performance drew the attention of the public and critics alike and was the starting point of the band’s journey to success. In particular, their debut single ‘Sheena is a Parasite’ drew great acclaim. In August 2006, the band appeared on the cover of the NME and later performed at the awards tour, increasing their fame and fan following.

To date, the band has released four studio albums: ‘Strange House’ (2007), ‘Primary Colours’ (2009), ‘Skying’ (2011) and’ Luminous’ (2014). All four of their albums have done incredibly well both in the indie scene and with mainstream success, all charting within the UK top 40.

Artists with whom the band is comparable include the bands Toy, Cat’s Eyes and S.C.U.M, all of which are also relatively unknown.

Críticas en vivo

The Horrors have come from a gothic, punk band from Southend-On-Sea to being one of the UK's leading synth-laden shoegaze, psychedelic bands of the noughties.

You can see they blend a whole range of genres together, reverberated guitars that pulsate along with the walls of the largest venues, intricate synths, heavy basslines and crashing drums. All along with Faris Badwan's almost scary vocals (suitable with a name like The Horrors) make for an exciting live show. You can expect a mirage of lights and a wall of sound rarely broken. They change their songs to suit a live setting, sometimes drawing them out to give a euphoria rarely seen by guitar driven bands.

In the smallest of venues they fit in well, with a more punky sound however have seem to set up in large venues recently with the release of their fourth full length album. They are well capable of playing arenas, although you may have to wait a while for that to happen. So for now, make sure you catch them in their smaller surroundings and make sure to catch the support bands, as they always pick a great lineup.
