Words On Tusco Terror - Ohio's (and maybe the world's) Only Good, Pure, Harsh Noise Band.

TUSCO TERROR

Photobucket

"Imagine for a moment growing up in a small town in Ohio where one in ten of the townspeople worship an ancient corpse of a tentacled humanoid thing with two sex organs. Try and wrap you head around the idea of a town with a vocational school where Coffin Making, and Meat Processing are the most popular fields of study. Could you keep yourself together in a town where once a year a warlock stumbles out of an umarked grave, wanders into every bar and restaurant in town and bores everyone with tales of how he partied with the late Bon Scott of AC/DC? Could you feel good about yourself in a place that holds a festival every summer (called "The Town of the First Day") where the young are taught how to make jewelry out of the eyeballs of catfish? Tusco Terror grew up in this town. Some say they make a sound like what one would hear if a radio is turned on after a nuclear explosion. All molted metal, with every wire fried, cockroaches eating cockroaches, sickness, and the gnashing of broken teeth. But really, Tusco Terror is making the sound of growing up in a small town in Ohio. A town where everything looks fine on the outside, but, when the skin is pulled off, there is only wrongness and a total TERROR."

Tusco Terror is on somewhat of a hiatus due to one of the member's relocation out of state, but the individuals are still very active. One of the more mysterious members of the group is still heavy on the noise scene with his project, Dreaded. You can dig that and much more via his label HERE.
