Wolf Tone

Once seen as a joke band, the Horrors are – perhaps surprisingly – on album No 5 in just over a decade. Armed with two chords and the skinniest legs this side of a sparrow convention, the British electro-goth rockers were not expected to last much past their punkish debut, Strange House (2007). But, with each subsequent outing, they have proven to be more than overhyped pretenders with fabulous hair.
