Hörse of the Dög was the debut album from the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, a Brighton garage rock gang formed in 1999, and it hit British shops on 30 September 2002. The lineup was the founding five: Guy McKnight howling up front, Andy Huxley on lead guitar, Marc R. Norris on rhythm guitar, Sym Gharial on bass and Tom Diamantopoulo on drums. It's a psychobilly B-movie of a record, all twanging, spiked guitars, rattling drums and McKnight hollering like a preacher possessed.
That was how they played live, too: shows so intense McKnight would often leave the stage mid-song to mix it up with the crowd, and back then they drove around in a big black car with flames painted down the sides. Kerrang! put the album 12th in its 2002 albums of the year. For its 20th anniversary a limited vinyl reissue was announced in 2022, bundled with a second disc of the singles' B-sides and liner notes by Edgar Wright, who had directed the video for "Psychosis Safari".
