The Horrors are an alternative rock band which formed in 2006 in Southend-on-sea, Essex, United Kingdom. The band consists of Faris Badwan (vocals), Joshua Hayward (guitar), Tom Cowan (bass),Rhys Webb (keyboards) and Joseph Spurgeon (drums). The band has released two albums. 2007’s “Strange House” and 2009’s “Primary Colours”.
Formed by ace faces of the East London and Southend-on-sea angular scene in 2006, The Horrors have released six singles and two albums for Loog and an EP in the US. They have already been on the front cover of NME, despite their singles being so limited that they are already considered collectors’ items.
First single was “Sheena is a Parasite”, which was promoted with a banned video by Chris Cunningham. B-side was a cover version of Screaming Lord Sutch’s “Jack The Ripper”.
Second single “Death At The Chapel” was released on the 31st of July, backed with “Crawdaddy Simone”, originally by the Syndicats.
Third single “Count in Fives” came with two b-sides, confusingly labelled incorrectly on the 7” vinyl copies.
Their fourth single “Gloves” was the first eligible for the charts, and peaked at #34.
Their debut album “Strange House” was released in the UK on 5th March, 2007 peaking at #37 in the charts.
The Horrors have gained quite a reputation with their live shows and unique sense of fashion and sound.

Mellflores1 ............In any other sense it's Meaningless anyway,what did Indie ever mean,it's only had real meaning to the person using it.It's always been to loose and baggy a Tag..The trouble with Tags or cateorgories is once you move away from a few obvious ones,the number of Genres and Sub genres blooms exponentially to reach the meaningless...Primary Colours one of my Faves of the Yr(Always loved Strange House,still do)....this blindsided me when i first heard it..fuckin Wow!............Fave tracks from it...............Mirror's Image, Sea etc, Who Can Say....".And when I told her another girl had caught my eye, She cried. And I kissed her, with a kiss that could only mean goodbye"

Though thats what it originally meant, its progressed alot since then and taken on more meaning. Anyone that has ever listened to a band considered "alternative" should be familiar with this concept.
