Artist History Forming in Melbourne 2000, The Night Terrors self-titled debut comes after two years of solid gigging around Melbourne and Hobart. A guitar-less instrumental 3 piece combining the heavy progressive stylings of the 70's with some 80's pop sensibility, The Terrors' combination bass, keys, theremin and drums has earned them a reputation as one of Melbourne's most interesting bands. Recorded with Neil Thomason (Little General, Sea Scouts, Ninety Nine, Ricaine) at Supercardioid Studios, in April 2002, this mini-album captures with real honesty the frenetic pace of their live shows. A full-length album will follow in 2003.

Press Reviews 'Seeking to form a point of departure from the rock-by-numbers school of musical intellectualism purveyed by the likes of Trans Am, Tortoise and June of 44, Tasmania via Melbourne trio The Night Terrors have delivered an eponymous debut that's really more prog than post. Spaced out electronica makes itself comfortable alongside dexterous math-rock exactitude via the tidy combination of synth-driven atmospherics and a rhythm section that thunders like an industrial machine. Ballsey yet transcendental, it's a fusion of percussive rock-thuggery with instrumental academics that declares itself unignorable if nothing else' Anton Bouwer - Inpress 18/9/02
