Terrorvision is a band from the North of England which has been very popular in England recently. They started on the music scene in 1993 when they released their first single, "American TV" which was an astonishing original pop rocker. They released their debut album "Formaldehyde" in the same year.

However, the band had not made themselves known until 1994 when they released their second album "How to Make Friends and Influence People". This has become very popular in Britain, over 300 000 copies being sold. To me it is one of the all time classic rock albums - not a dud track amongst 13, and each songs is so original.

Then in 1996, their third album, "Regular Urban Survivors" made them very popular and was in the top 40 for weeks. They appeared on TV several times and have several singles from this album including "Perserverance", "Celebritiy Hit List" and "Bad Actress" the last of which is, quite frankly, trash.

Terrorvision started off as a rock band in 1993, but have got lighter and lighter and "Regular Urban Survivors" is more of a pop album than a rock album. Thus I don't like it much. It has a few good tracks but the most of the rock has gone.


Regular Urban Survivors (1996) 4 out of 10

How to Make Friends and Influence People (1994) 9 out of 10

Formaldehyde (1992) 8 out of 10
