Look how good a reason we have to celebrate Throwback Thursday once again.
Terminal were a short-lived but compelling post-punk band from North Wales, with two awesome singles—Hold On (1980) and Am I Doing It Right (1982)—to their name. With a raw, moody sound that echoes the disaffection of the era, they carved out a small but memorable place in the UK underground scene. The original 45s are pretty rare, so let’s be thankful to French label Fish & Cheap Records for bringing the aforementioned A-sides together on a new 7”—only 200 made, so act fast.
Driving rhythms, wobbly melodies, cool vocals and earworm choruses, delivered with Stones-esque swagger—these should have been worldwide hits.
Am I Doing It Right / Hold On is out now digitally and on limited 7″ vinyl through Fish & Cheap Records.
