1968, the year of Hendrix, Harold Wilson, the year of Martin Luther Kings assassination, the Russian invasion of Prague and somewhere in the north of England the birth of what was going to become Terrorvision.
The early years of growing up were difficult times for these boys, musical instruments were hard to get hold of and they had to do with whatever they could find. Little did they know then what the future held for them. It was always possible to see that crazed look in the eyes, that determination to have a good time, that certain something that would turn them into that living, breathing rock and pop legend that they are today!
From Bradford, Yorkshire (in the north of England), Terrorvision are a heavy rock/indie/pop/metal (not to mention the dance re-mixes!) band who combine heavy rock riffs with infectious pop "choons" to devastating effect. They have a reputation for playing amazing live gigs, drinking copious amounts of alcohol and wearing daft clothes.
Their biggest U.K. hit to date is Tequila, which crashed into the charts in 1999 at number 2. Their second album, How to Make Friends and Influence People, has shifted twice the 100,000 copies needed for a gold disc, and their third LP Regular Urban Survivors - which reached number 8 in the U.K. album charts - has also gone double gold. Recently the band have released Shaving Peaches and this is doing very well in the charts. Still their after 6 months!
The band have played at the Reading, Glastonbury, Donnington and Phoenix festivals, performed on the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party, supported R.E.M. and Def Leopard, and have appeared on Top of the Pops many many times.
