 (1 Customer Review)
A lot of the Horrors' appeal and the almost viral spread of their popularity in the U.K. is due to their visual flair. Their look is a hybrid of big-haired, black-on-black goth, punk, and mod that could very well be the missing link between the Addams Family and emo. Likewise, the video for their single "Sheena Is a Parasite" -- which was the first clip video auteur Chris Cunningham directed in years -- further honed their equally stylish, scary, and witty image. Even without the eye candy, their music holds up well; this self-titled EP, which collects the songs from their U.K. singles from spring and summer 2006, is a very entertaining snapshot of their high-style horror-punk. Based on these five songs, the Horrors know the roots of their look and sound backward and forward, which is why their riff on it manages to be pretty convincing. And, just as their image mixes and modernizes different eras, their sound incorporates shockabilly, '60s garage rock, '50s and '60s novelty, and slightly more straightforward punk like the Stranglers and the Damned. Faris Badwan is a potentially great punk vocalist; he rasps and snarls, but somehow you can make out all (or at least most) of what he's screaming about. Meanwhile, Spider Webb's Vox Continental organ squeals like it's being tortured. The Horrors features two loving covers of songs by quintessential British eccentrics: an increasingly violent version of "Crawdaddy Simone," which was originally done by the '60s freakbeat weirdos the Syndicats and produced by visionary sound-shaper Joe Meek, and "Jack the Ripper," a tribute to London's infamous serial killer by early shock rocker Screaming Lord Sutch (who also benefited from Meek's spooky production skills). The band's original songs show that they're on their way to becoming as creepy and catchy as their influences. "Death at the Chapel" is a rave-up that would sound equally revved up in the '60s or the 2000s, but the Horrors are at the peak of their powers on "Sheena Is a Parasite," which switches between tightly wound verses and shambolic blasts of organ and guitar, all pinned down by Coffin Joe's rapid-fire drums. The Horrors' arty, borderline campy music probably sounds best in small doses, and considering that their shows often last less than 20 minutes, EPs like this one just might be the best way to experience them on record. ~ Heather Phares

Horrors album
 $5.55  
CARNIVAL OF SOULS is the last studio recording with Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer before the return of original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
Despite a 1996 press conference on the U.S.S. Intrepid that announced Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer were on a "paid temporary vacation," the two were dismissed months later after a reunion tour of the original make-up clad members proved wildly successful. As the sub-heading states, CARNIVAL OF SOULS is the last recorded efforts of Kulick and Singer with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Drawing on music trends started as far back as the lean times of the '80s, CARNIVAL finds Kiss putting together a sound that draws from the dirge of Alice In Chains and the crunch of old-school Metallica.
Much more somber than prior Kiss albums, nihilism runs rampant on songs such as "Hate" and "I Walk Alone." The mid-paced tempos of "Childhood's End" and "I Will Be There" inject some variety into a mix that includes Middle Eastern guitar phrasing in "Seduction Of The Innocent." In addition to Kulick flexing his instrumental muscles, two songs ...

| | Horrors Strange House CD (2007) Enhanced CD
Horrors music CDs
$9.99
On their singles and EPs, the Horrors proved they'd done their post-punk and freakbeat homework. With their debut album, Strange House, they push their sound forward, distill it to its rawest essence, and give it a few funhouse mirror twists and turns for good measure. Almost half of the songs on the album already appeared on previous Horrors releases, but the ever-so-slightly cleaner production here gives more definition to their black-on-black sound. The band kicks off Strange House by revisiting their cover of Screaming Lord Sutch's "Jack the Ripper," which begins at a zombie-slow pace, then suddenly speeds up halfway through, transforming into a hurtling roller coaster of a song that makes a great introduction to Strange House's mix of campy humor, energy, and menace. With its dive-bombing noise barely held together by Faris Badwan's shouting and the faintest hint of a melody, "Sheena Is a Parasite" is still the Horrors' best and most radical song, although several other tracks here rival its black-hearted thrills. Once again, Spider Webb's vicious keyboards are the band's not-so-secret weapon, especially on the fantastic, strutting "She Is the New Thing," which ...

While Canadian rock heroes Our Lady Peace have made a name for themselves as post-grunge hard rockers (albeit with a penchant for infectious songcraft), rarely straying from their hard-hitting strengths, GRAVITY is an impressively varied effort. The undeniable pop-hook choruses of "Do You Like It" and "Innocent" are perhaps even more unabashedly catchy than the band's previous radio successes. The acoustic-guitar-driven ...
| | Matchbook Romance Split EP CD (2004) Extended Play
Horrors album
$6.39 
This split features two of Epitaph's brightest young things, Matchbook Romance and Motion City Soundtrack. Both contribute new songs as well as acoustic/otherwise messed-with versions of older tracks. Matchbook's "In Transit (Over You)" is an atmospheric Radiohead-ish number that eventually trades its acoustic meander for a full-on rock howl. It's a pretty nice song, but Andrew Jordan wins the award for vocal over-emoting. The seat-of-the-pants production ("Recorded and mixed...in 45 minutes," according to the liner notes) works well on "Playing for Keeps," as a band like Matchbook Romance usually favors a lush, overdone studio sound. Motion City Soundtrack performs the new "When 'You're' Around" acoustically here, but it will likely appear on their upcoming full-length in a rockier version. The ...
| | Gentle Giant Free Hand CD (1975) Anniversary Edition; 35th Anniversary Edition
Horrors CD music
$10.75
The follow-up to 1974's surprisingly well-received THE POWER & THE GLORY, Gentle Giant's FREE HAND marks the pinnacle of the British prog-rock group's international success. (Like its predecessor, it appeared on the U.S. charts.) While the band's eccentricities--complex song structures, strange vocal harmonies--are present, these tunes are framed in a slightly more pop-conscious way, as on the funky, elastic title track. The ensemble also indulges in its occasional penchant for medieval music on the jaunty "Talybont," arguably making this the archetypal Gentle Giant album.
Free Hand is perhaps Gentle Giant's most realized effort. After the excellent In a Glass House, the group further developed its Renaissance-medieval approach, producing one of the most creative and complex recordings in progressive rock history. Their vocal approach to the four-part fugue "On Reflection" was revolutionary for its time and is looked upon as one of the genre's defining moments. ...

| | Cafebar 401 Blame The Villain CD (2007)
Horrors songs
$13.69
Brimming with darkly sweet pop hooks, Cafebar 401's music blends Bowie-esque vocal presence with danceable grooves firmly rooted in Euro-rock. Their relentlessly contemporary sound calls to mind Coldplay, Masters of Reality, Muse, Beck, Soulwax, Radiohead, and Queens of the Stone Age, but Cafebar 401 brings something else entirely of their own to the party. Don't miss it.Cafebar 401 leader Tije Oortwijn grew up listening to the Black Crowes, the Rolling Stones, and Masters of Reality. He first piloted grunge-driven bands during the mid-'90s. Gradually he absorbed his influences and concocted the shadowy pop confections of Cafebar 401. Combining the roar of alternative rock with the drum-and-bass of N.E.R.D., Timbaland, Daft Punk, Cassius, and Outkast, Cafebar 401 evokes a hipper Foo Fighters, a fun and funkier Bush. Oortwijn is a songwriter first, a craftsman of guitar and studio. He infuses his songs with a mix of celebration and sadness. "If the song isn't powerful," he says, "we throw it away." Wampus Multimedia signed Cafebar 401 in March 2003. The U.S.-based indie label released the band's debut CD june 30 2004. This deal brought the band a lot of publicity, regional newspapers published interviews, there was a big article in dutch most important daily newspaper "De Telegraaf", a live performance at 3FM and even a special on TV with SBS6.Cafebar 401 gigged at many important venues in the Netherlands, like 013, Atak, Hedon, Paard, Vera, Lantaarn and Effenaar. Also on many festivals like Dauwpopfestival, ...
