Terry Malts

California-based trio Terry Malts began in past due 2009 when 3 members from the Smiths-influenced indie pop quintet Magic Bullets conceived the band like a side project. Guitarist/vocalist Corey Cunningham, bassist/business lead vocalist Phil Benson, and drummer/vocalist Nathan Sweatt ultimately opted to focus on Terry Malts full-time, and Magic Bullets disbanded. Self-classified mainly because “chainsaw pop,” the group comes after in lines attracted by traditional fuzz-pop institutions just like the Ramones and Jesus and Mary String, pop-punk roots just like the Descendents and Hüsker Dü, as well as the reverb-coated steady of past due-2000s Slumberland Information bedroom pop. The band’s 1st documented outing was a six-song cassette on Loglady Information this year 2010, followed another calendar year by two 7″ singles on Slumberland. In the next years, the music group performed sporadic gigs in the Bay Region and did many beer-soaked tours along the West Coastline. Their initial full-length album, Getting rid of Time, premiered in 2012. They came back in 2013 using their cheekily entitled sophomore album, No one Realizes THAT IS Nowhere. They implemented in 2014 using the Insides EP, a four-song 7″ that zoomed by in only over eight a few minutes. After going for a year to create new songs because of their next record, the trio decamped to Monte Vallier’s SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA studio room to record. It had been their first-time in a studio room as well as the cleaned-up audio suit the music these were producing. They rejected the guitars, used more care towards the agreements, and drew motivation from ’70s power pop performers like the Information and Dwight Twilley. Their third record, Lost on the Party, premiered in Oct of 2016 by Slumberland.
