Names

Just wondering how we should write down the boys names, what with them adopting pseudonyms an all...

I've added the Band Details Box and such, now abouts to rearrange content (previous edits on 12th August were me) Hejog 18:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Cunningham has produced other work in last 7 years, I'm taking that out Drew 04:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have a source for the video details? Hejog 17:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Joe's Name dispute

Drum player Coffin Joe's real name is NOT Johnathon, it is Joseph - any articles that say otherwise are poorly researched and basically - bad journalism, (and the journalists continuing to make this mistake are probably basing it on the misinformed section on this wikipedia page) Whoever is persistantly changing it back to Johnathon, could they please stop?

Vibestation?

There is no mention of this band member on the back of their single for Sheena is a parasite. Also this would be a sixth member and I'm pretty sure there are only 5. I'm deleting it. 195.195.166.31 11:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC) Its Joshua Von Grimm Vibestation ... If you have a look at his name on myspace www.myspace.com/joshgrimm People should never make their own names up ... its silly[reply]

Genre?

Does anyone want to clear up the genre issue? What we have at the moment seems a bit confused. I thought they were goth, but I don't really know. 195.195.166.31 11:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I vaguely see them being looped in with goth. Ironically NME is kissing their ass, and they HATE goth bands. They are under deathrock right now, I guess we could keep it under there. They have a somewhat deathrock overtone to them...I think No-Wave might even work...Post-Punk and Garage Punk are just so vague. Justyn1337 17:26, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Surf rock? I can't credit that. I'm changing it. 195.195.166.31 18:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The elements that are similar to gothic rock is along the lines of The Damned IMO, likely because of the shared Sutch influence. I wouldn't say deathrock though, maybe elements of psychobilly. - Deathrocker 20:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

josh did not attend City University. He attended University College London, a far superior establishment. He didn't get a First either.

I was going to say that the getting a first thing must be a blag.

Not horror punk. They seem to be trying to me horror punk but failing miserably. too poppy and indie to be horror punk so i will remove it--213.7.48.114 20:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone Playing A Prank

I removed "Katherine Von Grimm" from the band members, as I believed it to be some sort of poor joke. However, I instead added Freddie Cowan as a sort of guest, because if I recall, he did fill in for Joshua during a few shows. Also, what is this nonsense about Faris being in a long-term relationship with a woman named Le-anne? I don't believe there is any evidence of this and removed it as well.

Fanbase

I removed the fanbase bit as it was nothing more than a shameless self plug for a fansite.

edit: it was actually a plug for their official forum that the boys themselves and family members and friends all use to keep fans up to date and to discuss the band. it is most definately NOT a fansite. see: www.thehorrors.co.uk notice: the links to said "fansite" that you removed everywhere. see: www.thehorum.co.uk notice: the MASSES of information on the band, their music, their members, their tours. etc.etc.etc. this is the official forum which is FAR more informed than this wikipedia page

Cleanup

Just done some cleaning up of this page, moved some of the info to the new faris page i made. Dash150 22:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
