Terror Bite is our shot at creating a career in the music industry by doing something we are passionate about and following in the legacy of our heroes. It's also our way of recreating the style of music that we love from the 70's and 80's but in today's world.

At the moment, no. Our plans for 2020 is to release two more singles accompanied with the release of two new music videos while growing our fan base internationally, through social media and focusing on putting together a better live show to grow our fan base in Sydney. Through the release of these two singles and music videos, we also want the band to grow as artists and better ourselves as musicians and songwriters.

It could be. I know Michael, our frontman does have a strong connection to his lyrics and feels passionately about what he writes so lyrical content is largely based on what imagery and ideas that come to him as we develop the instrumental side of the upcoming tracks. The other members in the band never limit him or try to enforce what each song is about, rather it comes very organically from Michael; so I guess it's all up to him.

I think it's a mix of both. We definitely do look at those bands like you mentioned and see ourselves wanting to create a legacy like they did and aspiring to achieve the success that they achieved. However we also don't want to be a copy of something has come before us. Throughout our music, you can clearly hear what bands have had a significant impact on our songwriting but we do try to take that and create something that is unique to Terror Bite.

The idea of a record deal is something we'd definitely consider signing up to and would love the backing of a record label to take our career to new heights. In the recent past we have been approached by independent labels to work with them but until we find the right opportunity, we feel as though we can handle the releasing of music by ourselves and grow our fan base through playing gigs and social media.

Playing live shows are a big part of us being Terror Bite and something we have been doing since the band first started, through a combination of support shows and headlining shows. Just recently, we played at The Hideaway Bar in Enmore, Sydney to mark the release 'My Desire' and had a great time doing it. We put a lot of effort into promoting the night and were very happy with the result.

Terror Bite was our way of trying to create a name that best described the powerful and hard hitting nature of our music. We imagined a venomous spider, backed up on its hind legs ready to attack with its great, big fangs and we felt that that best suited the aggressive imagery that we associate with our music.

Initially, Max, our lead guitarist and I met in university before meeting Tom, (our bassist who recently announced his departure from the band) and played together with other musicians until needing to find the right person to recruit as a frontman. Upon stumbling on an ad posted by Michael who at the time was looking to join a band and hearing his vocal capabilities; we knew he was the frontman we were looking for. This whole process took us half a year during 2018 and the latter half of the year was spent bringing the band together, playing our first shows between the four of us and working on writing what became "Don't Leave".

Axl Rose and Slash for sure! Having Axl's vocals feature on a Terror Bite song would be an ultimate dream and to top it off, some solo work from the man himself; Slash… that would be something I'd like to see.

Our main goal for this band, is to create a successful career in the music industry and follow in the legacy of the heroes that inspired us to start a band and play music. I just want us to create a career that we are happy in, put out music that we are proud of and even create a legacy of our own. I want
