Call the RSPCA: The Horrors "Raping a dead pig" say The Automatic
Posted:
Welsh blandateers The Automatic have hit back at the flak they copped recently from the The Horrors (pictured, obviously).
In the wake of The Horrors' comments accusing The Automatic of "flogging a dead horse", the Cardiff-based band's Robin Hawkins said of their accusers: “They’re raping a dead pig.”
Horse or pig? Rape or flog? Me, I'm unsure who came off worst. Speaking to Gigwise.com, fellow alleged horse-flogger James Frost then went on to attack the band's art-school roots:
“I think that they come from the sort of art-school background and they’re just trying to be as cool as possible.
"We don’t really care to be honest, if you don’t like us don’t bother with us.”
Pow!
Meanwhile, the Southend beat combo have sent out a request for extras to appear in the video for their next single.
The shoot for 'Gloves' will take place at a mystery location in South East London tomorrow (17 Jan) - so you interested? Click here and send your name, mobile number and a recent photograph.
Those chosen from the sea of kohl-eyed and bespoke jpegs will have to be free from 2.30pm to 11pm and will have to arrange their own transport. Which is a shame, as I like to imagine a busload of Horror-alikes winding its way through the streets of Lewisham.

worst comeback ever?
tantamount to 'no, YOURE a gay'
-
Aren't these two bands
touring together for this years NME tour?
FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!!! LIVE ON STAGE!!!
-
what's that coming over the hill
is it a pot calling a kettle black? with a megaphone? and a small annoying child yapping into a microphone to illustrate the point?
the point being, of course, different shades of shite get double the press coverage by pointing out each other's ineptudibility (such crap is this story I have to invent a new word to cover it)

incidentally
mogwai's remix album was called 'kicking a dead pig', in self-depreicating irony. i get the feeling the automatic don't listen to mogwai tho...
-
They could call it...
"The War of Utter Mediocrity".
-
methinks the automatic have been updating wikipedia
go check the Horrors entry...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Horrors -
Wiki entry
Regardles of who wrote it, i couldnt agree more
-
they
would get beatz in Lewisham, or Da Sham as I call it...
-
WE SHOULD
put em both on an island BATTLE ROYALE style.
I'd give the tourettes one a stick and a kitten as his weopons, to ensure his death.
seriously
-
The Horrors
Hair today, gone tomorrow aha ha ha!
-
who cares
they're both fucking terrible
-
If I was a rich man
I'd manufacture a band called The Cunt Smashers that consisted of Merthyr Tydfil's finest violent criminals and waste millions making them big and making sure their music was shit.
Big enough so that they can get abuse in the press from other indie bands.
Then when The Killers/Horrors/Kasabien/blah give them shit they will all pile into a mini van, drive to the targets and beat them half to death rather then give shit abuse back in the press a la 1992 WWF.
Then hopefully one of them will be out of prison in time for 2009's celeb Big Brother so he can bottle the shouty keyboard one from The Automatic on live tv.
