Artist Detailed Info: Horrorcomic

Horrorcomic was for all intents and purposes a "fake" punk band. Horrorcomic began life as Crackers, and they entered and appeared on Opportunity Knocks. Rumors persist that the band all worked for Lightning Records, although there's no mention of this in the liner notes to the England '77 compilation, which is full of R&B/rock. Horrorcomic debuted with the single "I'm All Hung Up On Pierrepoint" in August 1977. Single No. 2 I Don't Mind, released a year later, is a pretty engaging stab at being a proper punk record, although the vocals border on parody (and the fact the band look anything but punk on the cover.) Single No. 3, Jesus Crisis, released a year after that, is now a super-rarity that fetches over £600!
