Curve - Horror Head

[SequentialStudio440]

Yes, Garbage nicked Curve's sound 100%. Few people know this.....

[eddy67]

i never get sick of listening to this song

[NickCato]

AMAZING track

[hkg10]

My dad rocks :D It's so funny watching these videos, seeing my dad and his work :) I'm proud of him xD

[idis1abad]

@hkg10 wait wait. Are you saying that your dad was in this band?! You lucky bastard! :)

[PereMarquette1225]

@hkg10 You should be, Harry. Your dad's a musical genius. He sort of played Dave to Toni Halliday's Annie for a darker, alt 90's version of Eurythmics.

[hkg10]

@PereMarquette1225 i totally agree :) Also, check out his newest project called SPC ECO :) spceco.bandcamp.com

[OfShadowandSubstance]

@hkg10 Wait wait wait. Is Dean your dad? That is awesome!!

[archive303]

@hkg10 You should be. This still rocks more than music today.

[cansto214]

Toni Halliday has got to be one of the most beautiful caucasian women on Earth. I would love to see that face looking back at me from the mirror... but no amount of plastic surgery could ever do that! heh heh heh She's got an awesome voice too! I <3 CURVE!!!

[scaranogaryj]

man, peremarquette...thanks for the reupload! it sounds great!! this song is rare....i love it!!!

[6s7s]

this song plus ecstasy would be heaven

[windtwist]

still krushing on Toni Halliday

[balancebalance]

Awesome song, video is ok i guess with the limited budget they were working with.

[V22293888]

feel chills

[XzinX88]

The magic/ chemistry Toni and Dean had was special and will never be replicated, matched or exceeded by any other....

[harkyo]

The dislikers must like the crap that passes for music today. Long live Curve.

[harkyo]

I made her smile as I grazed her hand with mine on the 6th pass of my crowdsurfing tour @ Irving plaza in NYC 93. She is a cutie pie.

[drkam6]

Why this great, creative pop did not survive after the early 90's, and instead crap like gaga, bieber and rap/dance trash is played nowadays? CRIMINAL

[Elgrandeshit]

@anderscold. You do realize that Dean Garcia is in SPC ECO right?

[RodaSmash]

Oh god that makeup..

[Verasoul]

Her smile @ 3:20 made me...

[drsest]

this chick looks like michelle obama.

[jaycovia]

90's shoegaze had some of the hottest chicks; Toni Halliday, Miki Berenyi, Emma Anderson, even Belinda Butcher. Way back when cool chicks played cool music. Great song!

[synapticflow]

What a lovely sensual woman! And that voice... Grrrrrrrrrr!

[LordVarkson]

As soon as I saw Rage, I couldn't help but to do the Rage whisper. Good memories.

[murmaid99]

Love the make up and the shirt :-)

[alferius91]

este fue el 1er videoclip de esta banda q vi ahi conoci su bellesa de tonny q preciosa!!

[SurvivalOutpost01]

Hmm, I think she just may be a vampire.

[momozo96]

Is this SPC ECO?looks like !!

[anderscold]

@momozo96 These were around when the members of SPC ECO were busy being born.

[Smellycats4eva]

New years eve, half a gram of mephedrone + heroin for the first time in my life. + THis song, Wow.

[jbleilful]

god shes beautifulllllll

[JCOLON90]

Beautiful song

[alferius91]

Tonny haliday , bilinda butcher , enma anderson , miky berenyi hasta ahora son ellas las mujeres que tienen un buen estilo de musica y son bellas XD

[stripmallglass]

3:19, toni has such a beautiful smile. she makes me wanna turn straight! lolol

[heppolo]

The early 90s UK indie scene had three different images of a frontwoman:

1. The evil side - Tony Halliday (Curve)

2. The good side - Harriet Wheeler (The Sundays)

3. The weird side - Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins)

Choose your side. )

Of course, there were lots of other great female-fronted bands (for instance, Lush) but this are the most memorable ones I think.

[ryubaks]

@heppolo Evil always wins.

[soundenvision]

@heppolo As sweet as Harriet Wheeler seems, lyrically she seemed to portray herself somewhat spoiled and selfish.... but that's okay :)

[KDSRRGurl1]

Horrorhead is definitely one of my favorites. Speaking of .. Dean's been in the studio all week working on his newest project.. Morpheme. ♥ ~Neferast~XD XDRecords . net ♥ youtube . com / user / XDRecordsOfficial

[TheSinginchef]

i can't find this on iTunes. bought a used cd from amazon.....

[KDSRRGurl1]

@TheSinginchef We have this track 'Horror Head (remix) Single' (320 kbpm) available for sale on the official Curve website. ♥ ~Neferast~XD XDRecords . net ♥ youtube . com / user / XDRecordsOfficial

[halation777]

Erotic as fuck. Toni Halliday!! When I saw Curve the one time in the early ninties..I couldn't take my eyes off her. She seduced everyone in the crowd.

[FirePaperMario]

Words cannot describe this. Long live all shoegaze music

[discardmyfriends]

is there anthing else as amazing as this?

[lipomasteps]

@discardmyfriends No. The best, absolutely.

[lipomasteps]

Sony is dumb. I heard this here and looked for the Mp3 to buy. Why block it?

[KDSRRGurl1]

@lipomasteps We have this track 'Horror Head (remix) Single' (320 kbpm) available for sale on the official Curve website. ♥ ~Neferast~XD XDRecords . net ♥ youtube . com / user / XDRecordsOfficial

[Psichotica7]

Aside from Garbage, Curve's sound kind of reminds me of Howling Bells.

[harkyo]

@Psichotica7 Good band! I discovered Howling Bells not long ago on Pandora. I grew up with Curve since I was 15. I'm almost 37 and Curve still works their magic on me every time. Thanks for posting your comment.

[avocate201]

Sounds like My Bloody Valentine.

[tokyorose999]

<3

[Riotboy1]

I know this might sound funny, but this song got me through high school.

/+1 thank you to infinity

[zobazoba69]

Is Garbage a knock off of this band??

[Naroon201]

@zobazoba69 Not really a huge Garbage fan, do like some of their stuff, but yeah, it's a common thought that Garbage did take OMEGA influence from Curve ;).

[archive303]

@zobazoba69 Not sure if just trolling or stupid?

[sispunk]

This vid is awesome to watched stoned.... hehe

[BonanzAA]

she's beautiful, but she looks evil though!

[moccabattera]

@BonanzAA You got it so right, she could well be in my arms, anytime

[escriticapop]

1:21

[RastaTurtle1]

I'm In America

[EnjoyTheSurface]

Toni Halliday is beautiful... 

[strangeuniverse1]

@Netriderceo Garbage is the Monkees? I've poured over thousands of music hits from the 90's while posting for my channel and I'm very impressed with the songs Garbage put out in that decade. This particular music video is better than anything Garbage did however. Beyond this one video I'm not impressed with this band at all. I added a couple tunes of theirs to my playlists while the Garbage songs included on my playlists added up to a pretty good number.

[Jenigan]

Thank you

[Aspiret620]

I remember hearing these songs when I was a kid, I'm 18 now and fuck Curve kicks ass, doppelgänger is definately the best.

anyway are there any similar bands to the old Curve?

[JM1375]

@Aspiret620 Lush, Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie and the Banshees

[harkyo]

@Aspiret620 they started when you were -2. Guess you have cool older cousins. SPC ECO is Dean Garcia's current project featuring his daughter. Spacey ethereal stuff; not bad. Curve is tough to beat for this sound. Best thing to do is to make this music yourself.

[Retrocyclers]

@Aspiret620 Try Tamaryn, you might like 'em.....

[deepsub11]

@duncansuicide You're on crack. No offense, of course.

[duncansuicide]

@deepsub11 Well, they're all good of course but don't you think that My Bloody Valentine deserve a little credit for Curve's sound? Not to say that MBV didn't have their influences: Sonic Youth, Dinosaur etc.

[duncansuicide]

@deepsub11 ...their first band State of Play apparently were completely different so they didn't come up with their sound out of thin air.

[rivethead1982]

I miss the experimental look of music videos in the 1990's. That decade had so many cool music videos.

[BohemianConspiracy]

@rivethead1982 it's more into the first half of the 90s than the 2nd half...1998 is not so far of 2001... there was a real alternative movement discreetly supported by until MTV until the mid 90s.

Kurt Cobain's brutal death is an important event... a "red alert" signal who makes them change their politics for the 2nd half of the decade... progressively Mtv loose their seeds for what ?... just real tv... or i should I say a tv of appearance... but this is another wide question... viva VH1 !

[albertinoRRT]

Beautiful! Sounds JUST as good all these years later. AAhh...the memories. You don't think they did mind-altering drugs...do you? Wait...hold on...I think I'm having a flashback ;-)

[sheltech12]

one of the best of the era; highly underrated !

[chasingparkedcars]

I was listening to this today. Excellent album. Toni Halliday is hot!!

[Netriderceo]

Garbage owes almost all of their success to this band.

[strangeuniverse1]

@Netriderceo yeah, and the Beatles owe all their success to the Everly brothers

[Netriderceo]

@strangeuniverse1 Not the same thing. I like Garbage a lot, but their first album is basically a rip off of Curve's sound and their look during that time was also basically a ripoff of Curve's. It's more like Curve was the Beatles and Garbage was The Monkees. Nonetheless, as I said, I like both bands a lot.

[TheCamerlengo7]

Still sounds great, takes me back to some fun times!

[kbdevo1962]

That smile of Toni's at around the 3: 20 mark is kind of scary !

[theallourdes1014]

I was in love when this came out 1992...I love to think about those days

[ysonyou]

Some of the best mix I've ever heard. Well thought-out arranging that is sadly missed.

[lordmjh]

Love this band.Toni and Janet LaValley (of Tribe) were great female singers,(wish both bands were still around.

[harkyo]

@lordmjh Yes, a Tribe fan! Underrated best band out of 90s Boston! We've got some intelligent tasteful listeners on this blog!

[PereMarquette1225]

@harkyo I've got Joy Ride posted, if you're interested.

[lordmjh]

@harkyo I just had a revelation.Toni looks like Billie Piper (Rose Tyler/ Belle).So now I'l be stuck to my computer for a while...Again.

[strangeuniverse1]

The Fender Jaguar seems to be the guitar of choice on all these early 90's alternative music videos but I wonder if they were actually used in the recording? The Jaguar kind of looks like a Frankenstein guitar with all those switches. With guitar multi effects units being so common nowadays I really don't think you need all those switches on a guitar to change it's tone.

[vatoencabronado]

@strangeuniverse1 you don't need any of that these days, but I personally never used anything digital. The Jaguar was just different, everyone had a Strat or a Les Paul at the time, unless you were a darque, and then you played an Ibanez ;)

[Pasta0fMuppets]

This song somehow sounds way better on YouTube than it does on my CD. It's got more treble or it's more dynamic or something. And it sounds different right on the "where I see the sun from" bit onwards.

[fnkb12]

Amazing!!. Why Oh why didnt i hear about Curve before!! :(

[jmpsthrufyre]

@fnkb12 ....better late than never.

[pjmpjm99]

I remember seeing them at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis back in the early 90's and Toni came out wearing a cowboy hat and we all thought we'd died and gone to heaven.

[7Flume]

I heard this song once and had to buy the whole album - such a great mix of genres. Always reminded me of Siouxsie and the Banshees' 'Kiss them for me'. This was what I was listening to when I was 19 years old and this music scene seemed so full of promise/hope, but then this album turned out to be 'end of an era' genre-wise.

[Riotboy1]

In the comfort of this room,

The challenge died.

Remember you and me?

We laughed until we cried.

/Beautiful!!!!

[TheTuniak]

I want to make cover of this song, because this song is amazing... after Radiohead and My Bloody Valentine I finally found the excelent music. But WHAT THE FUCK they are playing? :D especially Bassguitar... I´m finding it out for weeks and still I don´t find the main chords, just some riffs... lol

[jmpsthrufyre]

@TheTuniak ...he's extra slidery...

[jennvixvids]

This music is sex.

[arielvlad]

ea mamoncito el coro pero esta bien y que chula vocal

[xroyceyeahx]

it's bands like this that make me despise time and the media.

Curve should have a reunion show, just put all things aside and give it one shot.

[genkideku]

sounds like "garbage" (band) but i think they're way better.... love the shoegazing touch in the song

[djnross]

@genkideku Correction:Garbage sounded like Curve.Curve predated Garbage.Garbage arguably stole their sound recipe FROM CURVE!

[genkideku]

@djnross Sorry!! lol that's what i was thinking but misswrote it haha.... you're right!! it's good to know that some people know about their existence....

[djnross]

@genkideku I wish they'd reform,but I think I know why Halliday would renege the offer;image-issues,...no one remains a young damsel all their lives...

[happyninja42]

@djnross thankfully, the Cougar market is alive and thriving, so the fact that she isn't young anymore should'nt be problematic at all.

[djnross]

@happyninja42 I would hope that to be the case with all one-time alt-rock divas of Toni Halliday's caliber,ninja.....But sources say she hasn't aged so well.And in this culture,so much of fame that does not rely on Katy Perry-degree youth,gets ignored when the 'beauty' can't compensate for 'loss of that youth'.She'd still retain her core audience,perhaps.

[10max30]

i'm fucking in love

[8302967]

so far ahead of their time

[eatdogs]

wow, i never thought i'd see a music video by curve. and i thought i was the only one who listened to them... lol

[xAULISx]

I'm still in love with her...

[obamaisfromkenya]

0:38 The head rising is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!

[splang88]

brings back so many good memories of the 90's.....and Toni is hauntingly beautiful

[abc15003]

THIS SONG IS AMAZING! I CAN'T STOP LISTEN IT ! IT MAKES ME DANCE LIKE A FOOL AND MAKES ME DREAM! the new-wave haritage in the 90's

[alanwaltzer]

I wish I knew about Curve when they were in their heyday

[PereMarquette1225]

Well the copyright stormtroopers have found this one, too. It's now blocked in Germany, Ireland, and the UK. Way to go, Sony... boost your record sales by making sure listeners won't be exposed to your music.

[epicguy103]

@PereMarquette1225 isnt it "stormcopyrighttroopers" ? i just think that sounds better..

[LME0fficial]

@PereMarquette1225 "Sony... boost your record sales by making sure listeners won't be exposed to your music." INDEED!

[30Ciaran]

@PereMarquette1225

I'm in Ireland

[discardmyfriends]

@PereMarquette1225 Im in Ireland and Im watching this video right now lol

[PereMarquette1225]

@discardmyfriends Now it claims to be blocked only in Germany and the UK, so maybe most of Ireland can see it now. You gotta love copyright law.

[fraseringermany]

@PereMarquette1225 Im watching in Germany at the moment

[PereMarquette1225]

@fraseringermany Guten tag.

[bobted69]

[halation777]

[limblesspoetry]

[km1898]

[mrsimondawson]

Oh bugger, I'm in love again. Thought I'd sorted all that out years ago... ;-)

[harkyo]

@mrsimondawson My man, I feel you...LOL What's worse is falling in love with girls who look like her in the 20 years since Curve's been out. HAH!

[yellowfr3ak]

i just love the bass in this song! i wish someone would make some tabs for it <3

[BoltSlash]

I love this woman

[kbrebach]

[copykill100]

Oh, this is so 90ies...wonderful woman, wonderful, dreamy and catchy music. Miss that sound!

[Thanksandy]

wow, she does look stunning, particularly at 0.12, even if the picture is intentionally overexposed or an effect added, a great look and great tune

[djdarkmonkey]

[jimee11]

Love this song. Miss them.

[bulletproofcupid007]

[MJYLep]

Wow gr8 post!

Halliday & Garcia were a great combo.

Too bad they couldn't keep Curve going?

[36whatsup]

[curiousgemini25]

One of the overlooked groups of the 90s
