HORRORS OF TOLEDO CAME INTO EXISTENCE IN 2007 WHEN THE MEMBERS SASHELLE HEDRICK OF O.C. (19) AND RYLEY NORTHROP OF NORCO (21) MET AND FELL IN LOVE AFTER A SHOW IN ORANGE COUNTY WHERE SASHELLE WAS PLAYING BASS IN HER FORMER BAND MOSQUITO. RYLEY AND SASHELLE PLAYED WITH A FEW DRUMMERS FOR A FEW MONTHS BEFORE FINALLY FINDING THEIR NEW DRUMMER GLEN MONTEMAYOR (24) OF HACIENDA HEIGHTS.
THEIR INFLUENCES ARE MURDER BY DEATH ,THE CRAMPS ,BAUHAUS ,CRIME ,THE FALL ,TSOL ,Against Me ,the Clash, X ,The Shins ,Bowie,The Birthday Party, Joy Division , Hazil Adkins , Tall Dwarfs ,Billy Bragg ,Destroyer, Johnny Cash ,and too many more to mention.
They came up with the bands name after reading one of Edgar Allen Poe’s short stories “The Pit and the Pendulum” based on horrors of the Spanish inquisition and also liking that the abbreviation of the name is HOT.
Ryley is inspired by the writings of Poe and the seedy underbelly of life.
Ryley writes the music and lyrics and plays guitar while Glyn drummer and Sashelle bass form a dynamic rhythm section.
The band is finishing recording for its debut on new label Vamped Records .
They have been playing anywhere and everywhere around Southern California , along the way opening up for David Lovering of the Pixies and his Unholy Three, Banyan and the honored of playing legendary punk bassist Mike Watts 50th birthday party in Long Beach .
They have played live on KXLU fm in Los Angeles 2 times over the summer and their promo is getting played on KUCI ,KXLU and few other stations nationwide until the album comes out.
They are scheduled to play March 20th at the Glasshouse in Pomona opening up for one of their favorite local bands the Deadly Syndrome.
They plan on putting their logos on Frisbees, Sweat Socks ,wristbands ,and headbands.
When not playing music they enjoy playing Scrabble in the dark, tea parties in the sand, and mixing Jones sodas together .Sashelle once made a famous sculpture using burnt Top Ramen noodles.
