Horrid Red

Pink Flowers

Horrid Red is an offshoot of ex-Siltbreeze creeps Teenage Panzerkorps (AKA DER TPK). While DER TPK stirs a blown-out post-punk frenzy, Horrid Red takes a slightly more delicate approach. The first 12″, Empty Lungs, on Holidays Records dealt in dark, depressive synth-punk, but the Pink Flowers EP is far more pop-oriented, though in the way Can’s Future Days or mid-80’s Fall records are pop. German-born vocalist Bunker Wolf remains as disturbing as ever & almost more bizarre when set against these melodic guitars & synth-drenched propulsive rhythms.
