Terrible Things Giveaway
Cosmos Gaming is teaming up with Terrible Things to give away a copy of the band's self titled album and a signed poster.
Who Are Terrible Things?
New Universal Motown band Terrible Things may be hailed as rock all-stars - with ex-Taking Back Sunday vet Fred Mascherino, Coheed and Cambria alumnus Josh Eppard, and Hot Rod Circuit guitarist Andy Jackson.
Appetites whetted for the splintering, pointed rock we've come to expect from each member of the reserved trio should prepare for added twists to their own reliable brand this time around. Never known to rest on thorny laurels /giving the gas face to the weathered indie formula of 'doing well and being miserable' in a recent interview with Alternative Press, Mascherino's first order of new business was to record the new album in Birmingham, Alabama with producer Jason Elgin.
Terrible Things have made a concept album about a series of fires that haunted Fred's former hometown, the depressed Pennsylvania steel-millburgh of Coatesville, PA, located 40-plus miles west of Philadelphia. A reign of arson terror scorched the more modest neighborhoods of Chester County from 2007-2009.
Though the band didn't initially set out to do a concept album, Fred says the other band members understood the depth of Fred's passion. Andy's contributions include "Not Alone," and "Wrap Me Up." Josh's Coheed and Cambria chops - no stranger to conceptual themes in their music, as well - made the debut offering a total communal effort.
Even though they were fans of each others' work, forming any new band, particularly when each member's individual 'earned-our-stripes indie cred' proceeds a new union - the chemistry is not always guaranteed. A feat even more remarkable when you consider the members' stellar pedigrees - Fred's Taking Back Sunday legacy includes game-changing critical raves, multiple Top 5 album debuts and a propulsive live legacy. Coheed and Cambria also wrote their own ticket as one of the new prog-breakthrough bands, earning a Top Ten Album landing and a pummeling live reputation of their own, thanks, in no small measure to Eppard's unique drum presence. Still, both Eppard and Mascherino willfully left their bands more than two-and-a-half years ago.
