The Horrors might be the most original and least British (yet still English) offering we’ve been allowed to listen to in some time.

 A controlled orgy, this deluge of spastic guitars, schizophrenic screams, and all this rampage of distorted and tribal sounds.

The Horrors' debut album 'Strange House' stands out as a raw and original entry in the UK garage rock scene. The band mixes chaotic, distorted guitars with engaging, hallucinatory sounds and a unique image reminiscent of the Addams Family. Highlight tracks like 'Jack The Ripper' and 'Sheena is A Parasite' showcase their compelling energy, distancing them from typical British guitar bands. This album offers a fresh, gritty alternative in the 2007 indie music landscape. Listen to 'Strange House' and experience the raw, original sound of The Horrors—inventive UK garage rock at its best!

 "Driving rhythms that make even corpses move their butts."

 "The crown jewel is undoubtedly the single 'Heart of Hearts,' the track I always want to dance to right now."

Three years after Louden Up Now, !!! returns with Myth Takes, maintaining their signature dance-funk sound while adding slight diversions. The album offers driving rhythms that engage listeners, but some tracks feel repetitive over time.
