Their music cried out from the darkest of depths for someone anyone to listen to their hardcore anthems of sorrow, heartbreak and violence. Unlike many of their hardcore contemporaries, Horror Show truly lived the pain of their songs every day. Deeply rooted in late night quarrels and their city's urban decay, Horror Show were a sign of hope in an otherwise bleak and barren world.

After the release of their debut CD/7"EP, "Our Design", Horror Show toured the east coast U.S. in support of the release. They also played a number of memorable hometown shows and made an appearance at the memorable Deathwish/Bridge 9 Festival in 2003.

In late 2004, Horror Show released their "The Holiday" 7"EP on Deathwish, which came to be their final recordings.

Members of the band remain active in music today.

Horror Show Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jeszcze wczoraj wzniecali rewolucje
Olewali system
Myśliciele bez przyszłości
Domorośli buntownicy

Oh 77
Oh 77

Dziś rodzina co dzień praca
A w sobotę wódka
Zbudujemy nowy świat
Przy kieliszku rewolucji

Oh 77

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "77" by Horror Show. The song reflects on the past rebellious spirit of the generation of '77 in Poland. It starts off by describing how they used to ignite revolutions and defy the system, considering themselves as visionary rebels. However, as time has passed, they have become just like any other ordinary family. They now find themselves stuck in a routine of work during the week and drinking on Saturdays, trying to build a new world while reminiscing about the old revolutionary times. The repetition of "Oh 77" throughout the song emphasizes the nostalgic longing for the vibrant and rebellious spirit of that era.
