Taken from the new "Insides EP." Out September 23, 2014 on 7"/DIG.

Since 2010 and over 2 albums and a slew of singles and tapes, Terry Malts have been exploring the murky area where hope meets disgust, an area populated with anger, hatred, exhaustion, delusion, seclusion, consumption, life, death, breathing, eating and a host of other conflicting and confusing ideas. Their records to date have a been a refreshing blast of catchy punk, pop-influenced but also chaotic, noisy, shredding. Imagine Bubba from Void sitting in with Descendents and and you're part of the way there. Fall 2013's "Nobody Realizes This Is Nowhere" was their most concise release yet - a concentrated blast of melodic bile that cast a long look at life and didn't always like what it saw.

Now Terry Malts are releasing their first new material in almost a year. The "Insides EP" might be their most "pop" record yet, but don't let that make you believe that they've given up on the blazing, verge-of-feedback guitars or pummeling rhythms. "Let You In" is classic power-pop revved up and played LOUD - a pogo party in under two minutes. "Grumpiest Old Men" is an ode to telling those damn kids to get off your lawn, showcasing guitarist Corey Cunningham on vocals. "Don't" is a stop/start thriller, dark and driving but as always sporting a melody that most pop bands would slay for. Wrapping up the EP is a fine version of New Zealand legends The Chills' "Hidden Bay," giving some insight into the varied influences that feed into Terry Malts and help explain why "pop" and "punk" don't adequately describe what they do.


Terry Malts - Don't

“NO PERMISSION” — STORY (KNOX JARD’S POV / DEBUT ANTHEM)

No Permission is Knox Jard staking his claim in a world he was born into but never asked for.

The son Mayzon never knew emerges with raw energy and defiance, carving space for himself amidst the chaos of backroads, algorithms, and viral fame. Every glitchy beat, distorted 808, and punchy vocal chop signals: he’s here on his own terms.

Knox doesn’t wait for approval, guidance, or recognition. He pushes boundaries, challenges the rules, and commands attention—his arrival rewriting the family code.

By the final hook, the message hits loud and clear:
He doesn’t need permission.
He’s already running the system, and the world will have to catch up.

no permission

[Verse]
Are you the moon that pulls my tide
Or just a shadow I can't outrun
Are you a fire or the smoke inside
Are you someone or are you none

[Prechorus]
I see you clear
Then you're a blur
I reach for you
You disappear

[Chorus]
But are you
Are you one
Are you too
Are you none
So who are you
Who are you
Are you here or on the run

[Verse 2]
Are you the echo or the voice I seek
A fleeting dream or a broken spell
Are you the silence when I try to speak
Are you heaven or just a shell

[Prechorus]
I feel you close
Then you're away
I call your name
But it won't stay

[Chorus]
But are you
Are you one
Are you too
Are you none
So who are you
Who are you
Are you here or have you gone

But Are You?

If you found this, it was meant to be.

LINDA.cd2 is our drummer Chris's initial Mix of the LINDA album after Frontman Marco ran it through his special secret techniques- involving a CD, a Toaster, a Lightning Rod, and a Ping Pong Paddle. What you hear is the result.

Room.cd2

baby, won't you stick around?
'cause I'm not afraid right now

yeah, I try, I try, I try..
all the time
yet you lie, you lie, you lie..
half the time

baby, we don't mess around
the room is full right now

you brought your gun to the party
and you shot me down again

baby, won't you stick around?
'cause I'm not afraid right now
