Terminated Television

Bio:

It was March 23, 2009, Aaron texted Steven with nothing to do. By the end of the day they were Terminated Television and had acquired enough instruments to turn Aaron's basement into a makeshift DIY home studio. They wrote an original (Dead Television) and came up with a unique interpretation for a cover (Bad Man) that day. The next day, the songs were up. Time passed. They played shows, gathered some new friends and gained some fans, then Mike was added into the mix to guarantee more shows. This signaled the start of an insanely prolific creative outburst the likes of which non of them had ever experienced. That outburst is currently being resolved into definite releases. The first three of these releases WILL be:

MISSION STATEMENT - SPLIT CD w/ GOOD GRIEF

MODERN RETRO - SPLIT CT w/ ORANGE IGUANAS

DON'T DRAW NEAR - LP

and we'll leave you with a preview of that last one, courtesy of our friends over at HFM

Sounds Like:

Throwing back a shot of whiskey on a train that's about to exit some trees and head to nowhere. Freedom. Things that make ears vomit blood and things that make the soul squirm. Music. Experiments. Rocknroll. The American Midwest. The smoky haze covering the tables of South Point at 2 am on a Thursday night. American music.
