Terminal Sound System

CPN crew totally recommend you press play on their you tube music player; through this link. Their music is way advanced.

 

Ben from Dada's on Pier Street in the City Says;

Grouper-Dragging a Dead Deer up a Hill

Attractively haunting distant female vocals, as if you are dreaming of an ex while lamenting the crapness of your new relationship. But there’s also a subdued 70’s English horror movie vibe here too, something about foggy fields, freaky forests and creepy castles. Still can’t find music videos for these bands, but at least there is a track on youtube.

When I wrote this I thought they were called Groper, turns out they’re not.

Dada guide to Fish Rock.

Led Zep-The famous anecdote about a redhead groupie and a red snapper is pure fish rock porn.

Whalehammer-Local noiseniks that get better every time you see them, not just according to me.

Hootie and the Blowfish-I don’t remember their music but I remember their name.
