Terror Claws are an 80's influenced hardcore punk band with a contemporary edge. They're from the North West of England (Wigan & Timperley) and list amongst their influences the likes of Poison Idea, Dag Nasty, The Suicide File and Go It Alone. They released a self-titled ep just over a year ago and have now returned with a follow up. Titled Patient Zero, it's another 4 hard hitting punk tunes about how fucked up society is... We're living in a modern hell, some of us slave to a screen whilst others to a shattered body. High tech can be toxic and rumours faster to spread than truths.
This is the closing track from Patient Zero and is inspired by late 70's era Hawkwind. The lyrics are a pretty good allegory for what's happening in the world at the moment. It's called Heading For Extinction.
Patient Zero is available on their bandcamp and through Spotify.
A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.
