Since bursting through the gates of the music industry in 2016 with their seminal album debut Stay In, Do Nothing, the defining sound of Adelaide’s Horror My Friend has become unmistakable. A sound that was solidified in their 2018 follow up of Home Life, which opened a multitude of doors for Josh Battersby, Tom Gordon & Sam Kolesnik, who then further exceeding their own high standards on 2019 crowd-favourite singles ‘Dopamine Waster’ and ‘Turned Loose’.

The three-piece have honed their sound over the years to remain firmly in the present. Known for blending the spirit of alternative rock and shoegaze, drenching themselves in noise and fuzz all whilst bordering on erupting into chaos. They successfully reinvent a sound reminiscent of 90’s pioneers such as Sonic Youth & My Bloody Valentine yet remaining agile through modern influences such as Die! Die! Die! and Floating Points. This constant exploration of genre allows the band to consistently break new ground and remain firmly in control of their unique, yet evocative sound. 

Horror My Friend have toured nationally and internationally with Hockey Dad and DZ Deathrays. As well as Gyroscope, The Cribs (UK), Die! Die! Die! (NZ) and Pity Sex (USA), among others, whilst locally supporting Violent Soho, Cold Chisel, Swervedriver (UK) and more. All alongside tours of the UK/Europe and Canada, including dates at Groezrock and The Great Escape.

Back at home, the band have performed at festivals such as Groovin’ The Moo, Yours & Owls and BIGSOUND, whilst garnering strong radio and media support nationally and internationally, most notably taking out the coveted spot of a high rotation add to triple j with ‘Turned Loose’.

Horror My Friend’s new single ‘Devotion’ is born from heavy reverb and a near two-year break in releases, time in which the band took to gain influence from their surroundings both musically and socially. The track provides the first look into what’s to come, experimenting with their sound like never-before; stepping outside the usual recipe for rock music and incorporating cyclical and hypnotic elements akin to electronic music.
