The Horns is the adventurous collaboration of two Melbourne-based artists, multi-instrumentalist Roy Amar and vocalist/lyricist Daniel J.C. What first started out as a playful joke has now grown into so much more. Roy, a metalhead in every sense of the word and member of cult-metal act Jericco, was asked by his indie, music-loving girlfriend to write a song that she would actually like - one that wasn't wall-to-wall full of chunky riffs and heavy distortion. Roy obliged and quickly wrote and recorded something that he thought she would be into.
She not only liked it, she loved it – and so did their friends and a far wider network. Soon enough, Roy was hooked onto the new sound and decided to keep on writing. The songs just kept pouring out, and the more he wrote, the more he fell in love with the music.
After he'd written and recorded over two albums worth of material in under a month, Roy knew it was time to find a singer - a singer to take these tracks exactly where he thought they needed to go. That singer was Daniel J.C - a vocalist who had his feet firmly planted in electronic music and psychedelic rock n roll, but knew just the right mix of innovation and pop sensibilities to bring to the table.
After hitting the studio with acclamed music producer, Tom Larkin (Calling All Cars, Young & Restless) and mixing guru, Sam Sproull (Kimbra, Shihad), The Horns are ready to unleash their collection of songs.
Starting with the infectious ‘Play With Fire’.
