"In the gritty backstreets of Manchester, a new band is carving its name. Combining the trappings of 80s flash metal and the “in-your-face” sound of punk, Terminal Hospitality are about as far from your typical local indie band as you can get. Drawing inspiration from classic bands such as Guns n Roses and Motley Crue, the band offers a modern take on the raunchy 80s metal scene with tracks such as “Take you for a Ride” oozing sleaze and innuendo. From the harsh screams of vocalist Robin Griffin to the mesmeric drumming of Anthony Burtwhistle, this eclectic sonic assault assails the listener’s eardrums with unrelenting ferocity. But that’s not to say the band is one dimensional. The occasional progressive ballad such as “Anathema” incorporates elements more common to bands such as Dream Theater or Queensryche. In particular, guitarist Jamie Bradbury’s solos are intricate and far removed from stereotypical punk, being closer to 80s luminaries such as Lynch and Vai than Mick Jones et al."
