HAUNTS deliver a dark and brooding manifesto with a stylish stomp and swagger that wouldn’t be out of place in swinging London. Raised on a diet of Bowie, Prince and Talking Heads, Haunts cut their influences with a sharp punk edge.
Their self-titled debut depicts a world between the cinematic vision of Tim Burton and a doomed London skyline, a night-time town where heavyweight new-wave strutting underpins tales of hit-men, harlots and heart-attacks.
Haunts release the single ‘London’s Burning’ via Black Records (The Bookhouse Boys, Russian Circles) as an exclusive free download only single on 31st October for 1 week or buy it as a bundle with B-sides including a cover of White Wedding by Billy Idol.
The single will be followed by their self titled debut album on 17th November 2008.
