The Horrors - Strange House


This was the first album by the British Zombie Garage band The Horrors. The album was released in 2007 on Loog Records. Since then, the Horrors left Loog for XL Recordings. It was my first Horrors album lol. The album received mild reception from the music press as The Horrors had by then built a reputation for noise and energy, something the mainstream isn't too fond of. Their gigs became energetic 20 minute epileptic seizures and a tour as an opening act for the Artic Monkeys resulted in mixed reception, the band were often bottled on stage and the audience would throw random objects at them. The kind of energy Britain hadn't seen since The Jesus and Mary Chain and the most hated.

1. Jack The Ripper (Screaming Lord Sutch cover)
