56: The Horrors - Faris Badwan on being inspired by the 00s indie club scene, the evolving sound of the band, and what's coming next

This week on The Boys in the Band Podcast we talk about London's iconic indie club scene of the mid-2000s with The Horrors frontman Faris Badwan. The band went on to be nominated for a Mercury Prize for their standout Primary Colours album and toured the world - but it all started with Faris stood in the crowd at a White Heat show in central London on a Tuesday night... We discuss the importance of the London club scene and the community which surrounded it - and how it inspired musicians such as Faris to pick up an instrument or microphone and take to the stage themselves.  Plus - a lot more! From fashion to Faris' art... and new Horrors music on the way.  The Horrors fan?
