There’s something about London’s climate that makes it more than respectable to look like a malnourished pasty cadaver who dresses like the love child of Robert Smith and Nick Cave and play music like an excited Bauhaus, and that’s lucky because otherwise The Horrors might not have come along and breathed an essential bit of life into horror rock when they did. Not only do they look like a band should look but they’re keeping the scene interesting with their penchant for an occasional fight too. Their music is intense and inspires people like Chris Cunningham to make equally intense film clips like he did for their song Sheena Is A Parasite. This is great stuff and, like we mentioned before, we’re actually going to be disappointed if uni students around the country don’t start emulating their look right now.
