Happy birthday to Anthony Michael Hall (AKA Brian Johnson) from The Breakfast Club!
Here's a Simple Minds tribute from FHA with "Don't You Forget About Me" in honor of his birthday
This is The Horrors. They're from London. This past week, they released their third lp Skying off XL Recordings (home of every artist that seems to matter at the moment, including Radiohead, the XX, and Adele).
The once punk-and-goth inspired five piece continue to lighten up(only slightly) with lead single "Still Life."
It's a catchy, synth-filled cut that grows until bam! We got horns!
I've been reading reviews on other sites(the big fancy blogs you've heard of) that their new sound mimics early Simple Minds. Like those kids ever really listened to Simple Minds. Who makes that up? Regardless it's got that era written all over it. Along with M83's "Midnight City" and Washed Out's "Amor Fati" we're sure building the greatest John Hughes movie soundtrack that never was.
The Horrors play Bimbo's 365 Club September 10 in San Francisco.
