However, THE TERMINALS are the worst idea ever
invented. I think they are terminal. A terminal illness. I know their
singer hates me anyway & the drummer never, ever smiles. I get the
impression he'd rather be watching the X-Factor final than talking to
me. You see, these men are chancers, pushing 40. They're about as
challenging as Jet. Please don't be fooled by this
marketing scam. This is shit pub rock from Leeds. They all have names
like Phil Angry & Arnie Bumcrack. The most fucking shocking thing
about this travesty is that the guitarist & drummer once played in
a rather special 4AD band called Pale Saints,
who made a spine tinglingy wonderful debut album called 'The Comforts
of Madness'. I implore you not to buy this awful waste of vinyl &
hunt a used copy of that down instead. Double Dragon, you should be bloody ashamed of yourselves! At least Lorimer (their previous new wave incarnation) were funny....
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
The Terminals are the punk band that everyone wants. With bits of every single great band you can think of being spat out at you through the speakers, its hard not to be enthralled The Pistols, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Undertones, PiL, Misfits, Make-Up, XTC - theyre all there. Zane Lowes new favourite band, theyre set to jump straight from their hometown of Leeds into the blinding lights of the fast lane on the rock n roll freeway, and theyre taking you with them. Limited to 500 copies.
