The Horrors

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

The Horrors

Green Machine's Pick of the Week:
THE HORRORS - PRIMARY COLOURS

Primary Colours is The Horrors' first album for XL. Produced by Geoff Barrow (Portishead) and Chris Cunningham (Aphex Twin, Bjork), Primary Colours is reminiscent of Echo & the Bunnymen, Jesus and Mary Chain, the Chameleons, Joy Division, and lots of other great stuff that I like!

Check out my favorite track here.

Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

The Kills concluded their US spring tour in Los Angeles Friday night (May 22) with a raucous set that ended in a pile on the floor with The Horrors.

The two bands performed for a packed house at the Henry Fonda Theatre. Supporting band The Horrors kicked things off with a brooding set that focused heavily on their new album 'Primary Colours'. Frontman Faris Badwan paced back and forth across the stage as the band ran through the tracks, hardly looking up from their instruments during their 40-minute set.

I'm going to check these fuckers out for no other reason then they're called the horrors.

It is like the singer for the Chameleons go together with Will and Les from the Bunnymen and put an album out.


Right now the vocals kind of suck - like the guy from The National - but I could change my mind.

I got this album from iTunes based solely on watching the vid last night. The album is pretty damn good. I had heard stuff from the first one, and although I initially thought it was somewhat cool (reminded me of The Birthday Party), didn't really stick. I've heard mixed reviews about their live shows, but then everyone has off days. Thanks to the OP!

Can you imagine if the Bunnymen were doing stuff like this? Live would incredible. Three Decades is probably the best song I've heard all year.
