There's a new British band that's been making the rounds of late called The Horrors. Their maiden voyage to the States kicked off to a rough start on Halloween when right in the middle of their first show, someone from the audience leapt up onto the stage and suckerpunched the lead singer (welcome to New York City, boys!) In any case, I checked out their much-feted e.p. as it was making its way around the office. Sonically, while not exactly ground breaking (by a loooooong shot), their sloppy blend of gothy garage rock is endearing enough, but one look at their press photo and the following connection occured to me.
The Horrors in 2006
The Sisters of Mercy in 1985
In the face of two, stick with the original. Speaking of which, the Sisters' first three albums have been digitally re-mastered, appended with extra tracks and lovingly re-released. Fetch'em here!
