"Big-haired, squid-flinging Art School ghouls" The Horrors graced the cover of NME this week. With only two 7" singles under their belts, The Horrors have become nothing short of a sensation via MySpace, a one minute twenty second long Chris Cunningham-directed music video (banned on MTV of course,) and word-of-mouth among UK teens. Posing perhaps a greater national threat than shampoo and lip balm, The London Times says of the group, "at last, a band parents can hate."

According to Loog Records, the ghastly quintet will be recording new material with The Bad Seeds' Jim Sclavunos later this month.
