Roo - Vocals, Eddie - Guitar, Tim - Bass & Sarah - Guitar. The Horatii were a second wave gothic rock act from the UK. The band managed to capture the interest of both old and new school fans alike. Their first album, Riposte, featured their most well known song, Darrel and Alicia. They became the band to see live in the UK because they were known for doing a very lively set. They'd follow up Riposte with songs from their second album, Succour Punch. Succour Punch lost a bit of the earlier batcave sound the band was known for but they replaced it with a more new wave sound. A few of the songs from Succour Punch were noted to have an early Duran Duran feel.
The band vanished shortly after the release of Succour Punch. One could see this as they broke up or that they are merely taking a very long hiatus.
