History

[edit]

Terry were formed in Mexico 2015 by two Australian couples,[1] Al Montfort and Amy Hill, Xanthe Waite and Zephyr Pavey, and released their debut single 'Talk About Terry' on English label Upset the Rhythm,[2] followed by their debut album 'Terry HQ' in 2016.[3]

The band have been praised for their wordplay and laidback style of rock music,[4][5] often described as underground or indie rock.[6][7][8]

After three albums released in quick succession, the members of Terry focused on their other bands,[3] and other aspects of their lives as Waite and Pavey moved to New South Wales, while Montfort and Hill remained in Victoria.[2] After the COVID-19 pandemic lead to forced isolation and began demoing what became their fourth album 'Call Me Terry'.[3] The album was released in Australia on Anti Fade Records and reached #4 on the AIR Charts.[9]
