More Info:

Out of print in the U.S. The Horrors debut album, Strange House, is actually pretty exceptional. Part sinister Cramps-style gothic rockabilly and part organ-fueled '60s psychedelia, delivered at a nervy post-Libertines rattle, you'd be lying if you were to venture these 11 tracks were especially original. Their haywire cover of 'Jack The Ripper' by Screaming Lord Such is a deliciously morbid revival, but it's not the only judicious feat of musical graverobbing: debut single 'Sheena Is A Parasite' draws not just title but breathless brevity from The Ramones' 'Sheena Is A Punk Rocker', while 'Excellent Choice' offers up a spoken-word tale with a grisly ending. All in all, it'll shake your bones.
