Terminus

 Terminus were a long serving Punk band from the Steel Town of Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire and have been described in the local press as anything from 'local rockers', 'indie-speed-doomsters' to (with tongue stuck firmly in cheek) a 'psychedelic biker band'! None of which fits with singer Mark Richardson's description of the band as "Punk Rock, not Punk-Rock." Elsewhere, in fanzine reviews of gigs and records, comparisons have been drawn between such diverse bands as The Damned, Dead Kennedy's, Conflict, Naked Raygun, Bad Religion, "Motörhead meets the Mob", and "a cross between Hawkwind and the Subhumans." The vocals to such unlikely folk as Jake Thackary, Billy Bragg and Oi Polloi, Dave Vanian and Animal (from Anti Nowhere League) and even Richard Butler and Bauhaus! Needless to say the band themselves consider all such comparisons dubious and the possible result of alcohol abuse. More likely is the simple fact that, although charges of inconsistency and idleness would certainly stick, they could never be accused of being as musically one dimensional as many of their contemporaries.
