Tera Melos

Melding the aggression of punk using the technical intricacies of prog rock and roll, Tera Melos make use of jerky shifts with time signatures and disjointed guitar noodling bearing an in depth resemblance to Don Caballero and Hella. Like their counterparts in challenging rock and roll, finger-tapped electric guitar parts will be the centerpiece, complemented by angular bass riffs and splintered spazz-jazz drumming, but contrasting dynamics certainly are a larger concentrate of the band’s tracks, with ambient consumer electronics and sparse vocal lines sometimes incorporated in to the interludes to offset a number of the even more convoluted and noisier areas. Pursuing stints in hardcore tasks No Regard, Hoods, and Stabbed within the Neck, guitarist Nick Reinhart, drummer Jeff Worms, and bassist Nate Latona began Tera Melos in 2004. A few months after developing, they began playing shows, producing an immediate effect on the Sacramento live circuit with chaotic live shows that confirmed their capability to play while carrying out cartwheels, electric guitar stands, and amp flips. Their initial record, Tera Melos, was self-released in 2005. Large touring implemented and, tired by life on the highway, Worms still left the music group to stay down soon after documenting the Drugs towards the Dear Youngsters EP. Vince Rogers emerged in as an alternative drummer, touring continuing, and the music group found solace within the roster of Sargent Home, house of similar-minded performers These Hands Are Snakes and Maps & Atlases. Medications towards the Dear Youngsters was re-released on Compact disc that year, along with a five-song divide with By the finish of Tonight adopted, alongside considerable U.S. touring with Weighty Weighty Low Low and nov Troy. Drummer John Clardy changed Rogers prior to the arrival of the 2010 recording, Patagonian Rats. The band’s following record, X’ed Out, required a more immediate approach and premiered on Sargent Home in 2013.
