The Horrors have been at the forefront of the British garage goth genre for close to two decades.
Arriving on the scene in 2007 with their critically acclaimed debut album, Strange House, the band flipped the script with their 2009 Mercury-nominated follow-up Primary Colours.
They’ve gone on to release several genre-bending albums, including 2011’s Skying, which won NME’s Award for Best Album, 2014’s shoegaze record Luminous, 2017’s alt-rock masterpiece V and last year’s acclaimed Night Life.
After performing at Dark Mofo last year, The Horrors’ upcoming national tour is one that fans of the band don’t want to miss.
