Terrible Feelings’ date of birth was sometime during the fall of 2009, in
Malmö, Sweden. Anton and Manuela had been set on trying out new stuff that
was different from their previous band constellations, and recruited Andy and
Willy along the way. In April 2010 the band released a four-song demo, to some pretty rave
reviews. Since then, they’ve played all over Sweden and Germany, and shared stages with a variety of bands; Cheap Time, Cola Freaks, Screaming Females, and Tyvek, among others.
The spring of 2011 saw the release of two 7”s. Tied Up on Timmeheiehumme
Records from Germany, and Impending Doom, a co-release between Sabotage
Records and Manuela’s own Lack Of Sleep imprint.
Someone described the music as “Loud, dark, therapeutic, and rough around
the edges”, and Anton once said he played “black angst-ridden power pop.” Both quotes sum up Terrible Feelings pretty well. Place their sound somewhere in the wastelands between Wipers, Redd Kross, Ebba Grön and Murder City Devils.
In June they’ll embark on a three week European tour, which will take them through Germany, France, Spain and Switzerland. A Japanese release on the label Donuts Pop is scheduled for early fall 2011, and Scotch Tapes from Canada will release the demo tracks on tape and flexi disc sometime soon.

Once again Flat Black is branching out from the so cal hardcore that they usually release. Cat Party’s first full length comes to us after an impressive debut EP and split 7” and displays a sound that reflects the gloomy hypnotism of bands like The Wipers or Joy Division. This also has some great guitar work that not only resonates with a Greg Sage influence but hints of early Christian Death can be found in the guitar playing. The vocals have that classically cool vibe of greats like Rik L. Rik with a solid rhythm section holding it all together and giving the tunes a nice backbeat. Whatever tags you want to put on it; post punk, new wave, punk, it doesn’t matter, they seamlessly bring together some of the best elements in music and bring a sound that is Cat Party. LP and CD differ a little bit in the track listing so check out both.
