Dirty Clubs and Gritty Demos, Vol 26 - Terrible Things

From the ashes of Coheed and Cambria, Hot Rod Circuit, and Taking Back Sunday rises, Terrible Things. Terrible Things is a rock band that skillfully walks the thin line between rock, punk, and old school emo. Their music draws the listener in and the passionate lyrics keep them hanging on.

Terrible Things have been taking advantage of the internet and myspace to promote themselves in a way that wasn't available when their other bands were starting out. with only a demo and 7” (released for Record Store Day) released they have over 32,000 friends on myspace and well over 1 million plays of the two songs they have posted on their profile. Though they are indeed taking advantage of this new-fangled internet phenomenon they aren't relying on it, they have been out on the road to rave reviews.

All you New Yorkers can catch them this Thursday June 3rd at the Highline Ballroom, doors at 6pm. Supporting acts will be Anberlin and Story of the Year.

For the rest of the country, they will be doing a US tour through June before they join Warped Tour for a few dates in July and August.

For tour dates and some music to hold you you over until their record comes out later this summer, check out their myspace page, http://www.myspace.com/terriblethings.
