The Horrors have responded in kind to The Automatic, after the Welsh rockers accused the five-piece of being “crap”.
The Automatic accused The Horrors of being over-hyped “big-hair” merchants in an interview this week - accusations which haven’t gone too well with Horrors’ singer Faris.
He responds to the BBC, “What? How dare we be creative and do something different? I can understand from their point of view that must be hard to understand.
"I've never heard of them, though I can probably guess what they sound like though. Are they bland? Do they have a keyboard?
"They are probably people who don't get our music. I'm sure they'll be much happier flogging their dead horse."

”They are probably people who don’t get our music.”
Or maybe they just have a set of ears that work properly.
The bloke from the automatic does have a valid point:
- they are overhyped
- they certainly do have big hair
- they are shit (ok, i added this one myself. But they are really, really bad.)
I do not know of one person who when hearing the band wil even give the lamest of nods approvingly. They really are that poor.
The Horrors are crap, And no the automatic arnt bland, and i can tell you that thousands of people likes them they have over forty thousand friends on myspace,The automatic have a point your hair looks rediculous! 
It’s pretty easy to have 40,000 friends on Myspace when you’ve got a team of work experience kids adding them for you. The Horrors aren’t overhyped - I saw them play well before they were signed and the crowd was going nuts over them. The Automatic on the other hand are just...beige. No contest.
the automatic
are rubbisshh
the horrors however
are quite possibly
the best thing iv heard in a whilee
xo
can the horrors actually play? i havent ever heard them but i think the automatic are friggin awesome whereas the horrors just look like a bunch of emo kids really, maybe its the hair :\\
