Southend dandies The Horrors are to release their debut album on March 5th.

It's called Strange House, and look! The artwork for it is just over there. Here's wosonit:

'Jack The Ripper'
'Count In Fives'
'Draw Japan'
'Gloves'
'Excellent Choice'
'Little Victories'
'She Is The New Thing'
'Sheena Is A Parasite'
'Thunderclaps'
'Gil Sleeping'
'A Train Roars'
'Death At The Chapel'

The band had this to say about the record:

"We have hugely enjoyed creating this album and feel that we are progressing massively as a band.

“Naturally we can only go so far without the support of others so we are extremely grateful to our hardcore fan base for their efforts.

"2007 will be a non-stop series of shows and exploding cigarettes no doubt."

The Horrors are absolutely vital to the UK indie scene.

What we really, really needed was a bunch of posh Hoxton-dwelling art school cunts making good on Daddy's credit card. Because we didn't have enough of those.

they are

an absolute snapshot of what went wrong with the 'indie' music scene.Still the singer does sometimes look quite cool.....

not really

they may be terrible but they're hardly emblematic of what's wrong with the indie music scene. nobody else sounds like them for a start. they're a band who make stupid music and look stupid and behave stupidly and have fun doing it, they don't pretend to be anything else. i'd say far more fitting of being an absolute snapshot of all that is wrong with indie music would be shite like the fratellis, the view and the automatic, people making ridiculously bland, unoriginal, derivative music with zero originality and thinking they're changing the fucking world with it.

i'd never listen to their records (i've only heard sheena is a parasite which i thought was actually quite funny in how in-your-face awful it was, though im not sure if that was intentional) but i do enjoy their presence for the sole reason that they annoy lots of people

I also think they look ace.

From feet to neck.

The haircuts and eye make up are where it goes out the window. Really ruins them.
