The Horns is the adventurous collaboration of two Melbourne-based artists, multi-instrumentalist Roy Amar and vocalist/lyricist Daniel J.C. What first started out as a playful joke has now grown into so much more. Roy, a metalhead in every sense of the word and member of cult-metal act Jericco, was asked by his indie, music-loving girlfriend to write a song that she would actually like - one that wasn't wall-to-wall full of chunky riffs and heavy distortion. Roy obliged and quickly wrote and recorded something that he thought she would be into.

She not only liked it, she loved it – and so did their friends and a far wider network. Soon enough, Roy was hooked onto the new sound and decided to keep on writing. The songs just kept pouring out, and the more he wrote, the more he fell in love with the music.

After he'd written and recorded over two albums worth of material in under a month, Roy knew it was time to find a singer - a singer to take these tracks exactly where he thought they needed to go. That singer was Daniel J.C - a vocalist who had his feet firmly planted in electronic music and psychedelic rock n roll, but knew just the right mix of innovation and pop sensibilities to bring to the table.

After hitting the studio with acclamed music producer, Tom Larkin (Calling All Cars, Young & Restless) and mixing guru, Sam Sproull (Kimbra, Shihad), The Horns are ready to unleash their collection of songs.

Starting with the infectious ‘Play With Fire’.

“One of the most impressive debut releases I’ve ever heard.” INDIESHUFFLE 
“One of the standout albums to be released this year…almost perfect”   THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, SYDNEY
Classic songs. Huge supports. Sold-out headline tours to heaving crowds singing along to every word. International showcases with queues down the street. Raves from radio programmers, journalists and bloggers from all over the world…Australian duo HOLY HOLY had experienced much even before launching an album. Then their debut album hit shelves first in Aus then the UK & Europe in late 2015, and “When The Storms Would Come” is vaster, and wilder, than anything they've aired to date. The Australian public and media alike showed their passionate appreciation for this incredible album with 20 sold out shows across the country & stunning reviews for both the album & their electric live show & Triple J adding their 6th single to high rotation. When released in the UK a few months later again the reviews were astonishing – every publication giving the band 4 or 5 star reviews including some of the country’s biggest, most influential publications, spins on Radio 1, 2, 6 & Radio X, 2 sold out London shows, shows across Europe, a night addition on 3FM in The Netherlands & Radio Eins in Germany. And Holy Holy are just getting started. 

Australian-Gothic punks Horace Bones new Album Terra is a merciless exploration of the shadows lingering in the deepest corners of the Australian psyche. An apocalyptic view of a society’s devastating attempt to forge identity while addressing/suppressing the ferocity of its present and past.
