Sid Terrors UNDEAD (Official)

Bio:

..




Founded by Sid Terror in Hollywood California in the Summer of 1977 when punk was new and Horror Punk was unheard of, Sid Terror'r UNDEAD quickly became known as the undisputed west coast "Kings Of Gore Core". ...With no less than two of THE RAMONES (DeeDee and Joey) jumping at the chance to guest on The Undead's first single, released in late summer 1977. The band soon made their way up the coast to the bay area, basing themselves in San Francisco until 1988, then slid back down to the Los Angeles area (The Ansestral Land of Celluloid Horror) where the bands official base still is today. Several Albums and scores of singles later, they are recognised as one of the major founding influences of the Punk / Horror / Psychobilly and Gore-core genres... In other words, SID TERROR'S UNDEAD crawled through the fiery trenches and attoned for your sins... Probably before you were even born.

Often imitated but never equaled, Sid Terror's UNDEAD is also the only one of the early Horror Punk originators never to make any concessions to their sound on a major label, keeping them perhaps the purest of the surviving early bands in their genre. Much of this has been by deliberate design... Though Sid Terror himself has been asked over the years to contribute to projects by people as varied as The Ramones, Steve Jones (of The Sex Pistols), David Vanian (of The Damned), Lux Interior and Poison Ivy (of The Cramps) and even Gene Vincent's Blue Caps and many others, Sid Terror's UNDEAD has always come first when it came to his main interest and vision. Living like it's Halloween 365 days a year... Since 1977.


..> As a rule we DO NOT cultivate our friends list by sending out friends requests and harvesting friends, because that is an artificial and fake way to inflate numbers. Our friends know who we are, find us, and request to be added. We are proud to say we are one of the few bands with the scruples to do that. What you see here are TRUE real fans of Sid Terror's UNDEAD and we thank each and every one of them for the support.

Influences:

For us, it has always been about SEX & BLOOD & ROCK & ROLL... Classic Universal Horror Movies, B-Movie Sci-FI and Horror, Sex, Juvenile Delinquency, Drag Racing Hearse's, The Addams Family, The Munsters, Batman, and all the best and hardest hitting music in the history of Rock and Roll.

Sounds Like:

We sound exactly like US, just making the sounds and saying the things we have always done. When you are as far ahead of the curve as we were (apparently one of the bands that started this thing called Horror Punk) it ends up being all the people that come later that are influenced by you, and if they say different they either been living under a bridge for the last over three decades, or are lying. So you gonna go with an original, or a shoddy imitation? ..
