The Horrors are a five-piece indie rock band who formed around the Junk Club in
the basement of the Southend, Essex Royal Hotel. Formed in the summer of 2005, the band
rehearsed for only two weeks before playing their first gig.
A combination of The Horrors' distinctive image and sound earned them instant
publicity and they have been on the rise ever since. The Horrors' sound relies strongly
on the distinctive guitar work of Joshua Von Grimm, Badwan's vocals and the inclusion of an
organist, Junk Club co-founder Rhys 'Spider' Webb. Order your The Horrors Tickets

The Horrors first gained noticable popularity in the UK with their single "Sheena Is A Parasite". The music video was directed by Chris Cunningham. This ended a seven year music video hiatus for the much respected Cunningham who admitted to being 'mildly obsessed' with the track "Sheena Is A Parasite", having come across it on myspace. The video stars Oscar nominee Samantha Morton as the song's manic, transmogrifying subject who whips around like a banshee and spews her intestines at the viewer. Sharply edited and shot on a low budget, the video was instantly banned from MTV UK purely on the basis of the use of strobe lights, not because of the gory subject matter. The video has aired on MTV2 in America.
