Release Notes:

B-Sides & Rarities collection due soon.  Enjoy.

Alongside New Model Army and a fertile bhangra scene, Terrorvision are
the Yorkshire city of Bradford's chief musical export. And, after
capturing a UK number 1 single in 1999, there is every reason for them
to be a source of local pride. After abandoning the name Spoilt Bratz
in 1991, Terrorvision (named after a cult B-movie) formed around
vocalist Tony Wright, guitarist Mark Yates, bass player Leigh Markley
and drummer Shutty. A single demo tape was enough to convince EMI
Records to offer them not only a deal, but their own imprint, Total
Vegas. A succession of albums followed, melding pop hooks with metal
guitars (akin to a harsher Cheap Trick). These included Formaldehyde
(1992), How to Make Friends and Influence People (1994) and Regular
Urban Survivors (1996). These spawned a series of chart appearances
for singles such as "New Policy One," "Pretend Best Friend," the
excellent "Alice, What's the Matter?" and "Perseverance." The latter
took them into the UK top five, illustrating their broadening
commercial appeal. That was confirmed with the release of 1998's
Shaving Peaches, a heady mix of wacked-out pop and rock piledrivers
with a real dumb charm that some compared to the Ramones. Despite
attendant single "Tequila" topping the charts, Terrorvision were
nevertheless dropped by EMI before the end of the millennium.
However, their own label scored a working relationship with
Papillion in May 2000. A sixth appearance on the "Never Mind the
Buzzcocks" Christmas special soon followed prior to the band
returning to the studio the next year. Good To Go, their fifth album
which sparked the hit single "D'Ya Wanna Go Faster?," appeared in
February 2001. Sadly, after a string of spring shows, Terrorvision's
13-year career came to a halt when the band disbanded in June. A
small farewell tour in the UK was scheduled for late fall to coincide
the release of the retrospective, Whales & Dolphins, in September.
