The Horrors Frontman Faris Baldwin Designs Limited Edition Record Store Day Badges

In association with the Music Matters campaign, The Horrors’ frontman Faris Badwan has designed a limited edition range of badges exclusively for this month's Record Store Day.
The run of 2012 badges will be distributed throughout the 192 record stores taking part in the annual event on 21st April, and follows the range of exclusive BRIT Awards 2012 Music Matters badges, distributed to all guests at this year’s event and created by legendary pop artist and BRIT award designer Sir Peter Blake.
Explaining why he wanted to get involved in Record Store Day this year, Faris said: “I've discovered so much music through independent record shops, particularly Rough Trade. It's not the same experience buying records on the internet. I've always thought Record Store Day was such a great idea, limited 7"s from musicians who share a love of making actual records.”
The Horrors themselves are currently finishing off their tour of the US, before they gear up for a UK tour this May. If you're a fan and are in need of tickets to any of the shows, check the dates and details below.
