Talk:The Horrors

message: Haven't they outgrown Sheena yet? I agree that it's a fairly significant stage in their development, but they do have more history than that. Some kind of comprehensive band history might be nice.
Yeah I agree with that. Its a bit daft having that whole bit on ntheir first single when there is a page for it. Unfortunately someone deleted the little bit of history we had. A bit of investigation needs to be done... 82.44.239.106 13:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Just wondering how we should write down the boys names, what with them adopting pseudonyms an all...
I've added the Band Details Box and such, now abouts to rearrange content (previous edits on 12th August were me) Hejog 18:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Names

message: Drum player Coffin Joe's real name is NOT Johnathon, it is Joseph - any articles that say otherwise are poorly researched and basically - bad journalism, (and the journalists continuing to make this mistake are probably basing it on the misinformed section on this wikipedia page)
Whoever is persistantly changing it back to Johnathon, could they please stop?
SOMEONE HAS DONE IT AGAIN! And again they have cited the reference to the badly researched article which is incorrect! His name is JOSEPH!
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_11266 <-- this is an incorrect reference.
Are there any sources that say his name is joseph? 82.35.208.43 11:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

message: There is no mention of this band member on the back of their single for Sheena is a parasite. Also this would be a sixth member and I'm pretty sure there are only 5. I'm deleting it.

message: Does anyone want to clear up the genre issue? What we have at the moment seems a bit confused. I thought they were goth, but I don't really know.

thread_title: Genre?

message: I changed the picture to their album cover (Strange House), which has them on it. Considering the picture of them on the cover of NME was pretty blurry, I thought this would be better. I also added a caption. Tell me what you think of this change. If you like this change, adding the band memebers name in the caption would be a good idea also.

message: Did "She Is A New Thing" make it into the charts at all? The song has been sitting as a release for May 14th for a while now, yet the "chart" bit has remained as "N/A" for a fair while as well. Did everyone not like it THAT much that it didn't even chart? Or did they do what they did before and pack it full of stickers so that it couldn't?--SteelersFan UK06 17:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  She Is A New Song, Just A Lot Of People Seemed To Not Like It 

message: I'm new to Wikipedia.  Information should be added to this entry to make a disctinction between this band and an American band with the same name.  They're a bass-less trio from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and have two albums.  The first album, from 2000 (In the Red), is wildly distorted farm-punk reminiscent of The Cramps or Doo Rag.  The second album was more conventional pool hall rock.
Lately I've been thinking, "Wow, they finally hit the big time," before doing a little research and discovering all the buzz is about another band.

thread_title: Surf?

message: Nowhere in this article are mentioned the Fuzztones who occur to me as being their major influence.
The "halloween" side of The Horrors can also be found in The Fuzztones decorum.
It seems completely obvious to me that their cover of The Sonics are directly influenced by the Fuzztones "The Witch" and "Jack The Ripper" covers. What do you think?

message: First off, Shoegazing revival is not a legitimate genre by any means.
Second off, The Horrors' raw punk is as far from shoegazing as is possible. I don't know how to fix this, but will someone please do it?
The fact that they were influenced by the JAMC's guitar work does not make them shoegazing; it just means they have some noise-pop influence (which is pretty obvious to begin with).Toyboxmonster (talk) 21:27, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shoegazing 

message: I noticed that currently their down with their 'real' names but i was wondering wether they should be down with their stage names (eg: Joseph Spurgeon - Coffin Joe) 
And besides most of them have legally changed their names since, so Faris is no longer a Badwan but a Rotter and Joshua is not longer a Hayward but a Third.
Perhaps individual member pages should be added in which their original names should be included.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaylo12 (talk • contribs) 04:52, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I just found the tracklisting for the new album on pitchfork http://pitchfork.com/news/42628-listen-the-horrors-still-life. 
Maybe there is soon enough material to create an article about the new album.
Have also found what could be the album cover for the new album http://soundcloud.com/robot_657/the-horrors-still-life.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simonvidar (talk • contribs) 13:41, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
