Slowly but surely, Terry Malts have been making the transition from underground curiosity to cult concern. Whether they get much bigger will depend on what musical tastes dictate (and punk as rabid as this is unlikely to provide many platinum acts) or whether they want to go in a more commercial direction, something which is doubtful. But since their debut album 'Killing Time' their name has been thrown around much more and interest for the follow-up has reached a good level. There's not long to wait: 'Nobody Realizes This Is Nowhere' is out next week.
Before then, the band are sharing the album's second single 'Walking Without You' (having already unveiled 'I Was Not There'). You can see why Terry Malts have become stars of the underground. In a world with a million punk bands and a million lo-fi bands they've managed to make a sound that's fairly unique. That and they have the musical ability and songwriting skills to thrill. With a drummer who's been force-fed a gallon of Red Bull and loads of grungy guitars this song is the musical equivalent of nicking a car and going on a joyride whilst high with your mates. Not that we'd know...
