Concert Review: The Kills and the Horrors at the Bottleneck

REVIEW AND PHOTOS

BY NICK SPACEK

It’s a cliche to say a band sounds like Joy Division, but the Horrors sound JUST LIKE JOY DIVISION — maybe with the addition of some early U2. What I’d read about the Horrors always seemed to make some sort of Cramps comparison, but no likeness to that band was in evidence at the Bottleneck last night. The five pale, thin young men dressed in black on the stage played music with an occasional burst of energy but concentrated on droning dirges.
