Do you remember Horror Show?
Somehow, this band seemed to slip through the cracks of hardcore history.
There are a few hardcore fans out there, but if you ask most people, they can’t really dig up many memories. Here’s the video of their last gig to jog your memory.
If you only watch the first 5 minutes (whooooofffffff), you’d think they were some weird indie rockers. But once minute 5 kicks in, you see how kids really felt about them. Pretty cool vibe. I happened to catch them back in 2002 at the Worcester Palladium. The reaction was probably more like the first 5 minutes back then. I think I caught them at the Berwick and maybe the Hideaway, but my memory is mad fuzzy.
Definitely saw this band a bunch of times in NJ and once in Philly after Nicky went to jail with Wes and Jake filling in on vocals.
If you mean the AN/Panic/Count Me Out show upstairs Palladium, they got a quality reaction, tons of the Philly kids were up, some got so amped Security were locking up Wes while singing along and a fight started.
To help your memory, they played the Berwick with Down To Nothing, RnR, Sex Positions & Stay Gold and B9/Deathwish Showcase the following week at the Hideaway
damn it, if this were an XL i’d be all over it.
woah, those dance-moves suck. shirt looks cool and music kicks ass.
Horror Show ruled. Deathwish should reprint some of their stuff and do a discography.
I have footage of them playing Robby Redcheeks basement. I wonder if Nicky had not gone to jail if Blacklisted would have formed.
Nice to see this band get some love on here. Philly definately Showed up at palladium. I remember on the mullet board Chris corry dissed them and Philly in he show review. Fuck you pussy, you’re lucky.
Also blacklisted wouldve happened if Nicky didn’t go to jail, why would youthink that would play a part lol. How come no mention of members of cold world? Alex and nick did some time. There’s YouTube of alex playing.
RIP Josh
