Terror Claws - Heading For Extinction



  Hopefully the title of today's song won't apply to the human race as a result of the current Corona Virus outbreak...

  Terror Claws (https://www.facebook.com/TERRORCLAWS/) are an 80's influenced hardcore punk band with a contemporary edge. They're from the North West of England (Wigan & Timperley) and list amongst their influences the likes of Poison Idea, Dag Nasty, The Suicide File and Go It Alone. They released a Self Titled ep just over a year ago and have now returned with a follow up. Titled Patient Zero, it's another 4 hard hitting punk tunes about how fucked up society is... We're living in a modern hell, some of us slave to a screen whilst others to a shattered body. High tech can be toxic and rumours faster to spread than truths.

  The band features Battle (vocals), Chance (guitar), Mikey (drums) and D.A. (bass). D.A. was previously in UK hardcore band Jailcell Recipes. Coronavirus permitting, they've a gig on Weds 22nd April (celebrating Earth Day) at the relaunched Wigan venue The Den. The gig will hopefully also feature Liverpool band Coughin Vicars (ex SSS/Walk The Plank/Cold Ones/Salem Rages.... https://coughinvicars.bandcamp.com/releases).

 Patient Zero is available here :  https://terrorclaws.bandcamp.com/album/patient-zero-ep

  This is the closing track, it's inspired by late 70's era Hawkwind. The lyrics are a pretty good allegory for what's happening in the world at the moment.  It's called Heading For Extinction...
