Terrible Twos Three party like it's still Christmas reasons to jet on over to Crown Tap Room tonight... 1. Detroit's Terrible Twos are making their way back to the Windy City to play some scratchy, aggressive punk rock tunes for your belated Christmas/early New Years celebrations. With five members, you better believe this band doesn't just stick to simple chord progressions. The additional organ sounds give Terrible Twos all the flavor of a 60s psychedelic circus. LISTEN: " Grey Ghost Street ." [...]
Matt Pryor is a busy man. Many know him as a singer/guitarist from the Get Up Kids, who have spent the last few years celebrating their reunion with a new album and plenty of tour dates. In addition to the Get Up Kids, he has also performed in the New Amsterdams, the family friendly Terrible Twos, and as a solo artist. When he isn't on the road, Pryor is spending time with his family and taking care of his three kids. In the last 10-15 years, Pryor has released around 15 albums and has still found the time to [...]
Today's take me back before music made me pretentious moment comes from the summer of 2003. I realize before even making this list that it will bring obvious flaws in my taste of music to light which is something i'm fine with. My entire premise behind heycoolkid! has always been to present music that may or may not be "scene" enough for other blogs and at the same time bring attention to the music that i love and wish others would as well. ("others" meaning people whose opinions i actually care about, i'm pretty sure those people do exist, god [...]
Does the phrase “ever loving” evoke a furniture store? Because for at least two years in a row, Everloving Records has done its SXSW showcase at Design Within Reach, a hip furniture store in Downtown Austin, which has always seemed like a slightly weird place to pack a bunch of drunken music fans into. Full disclosure: this year, I DJd the show, which means I constantly worried that the stainless-steel Op Art circular fold-out table I put my gear on might get a scratch and cost me $10,000. The angular [...]
There was just enough time following last night's Fishbone show to make it back to Lawrence and catch Detroit's Terrible Twos (not to be confused with the Matt Pryor kids song project). While th... Continue reading "Detroit's Terrible Twos rock a small Replay crowd" >
Milwaukee's Get Drunk show promoters/DJ's (and heads of the DIY label Dusty Medical) passed along a new mixtape and their Jan-April show calendar. It's chalk full of what you'd expect; punk, power-pop, and garage from all over the map. You can download that here and check out the show cal below, which starts this weekend with great Friday and Saturday night shows. mix track list: 1. NOBUNNY - Blow Dumb [ Oakland, [...]
Blowdog and Sneezy ::: photo by Josh Lovseth This may have been two weeks ago to the day, not that our deeply troubled and slightly traumatized minds have been keeping track, but these photos are far too ... well, you'll see, not to share. Think Sound on the Sound just likes sweet folk harmonies and Ballard [...]
Following a number of instantly sold out reunion shows across the country, including at New York City's Blender Theatrer , the Get Up Kids have confirmed a full U.S. tour.

Thank You [Myspace] are hitting the road this February in support of their album Terrible Two which came out last summer. This is the band's first nation-wide tour in support of the album...
Like ( ) British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? This album was absolutely EPIC. But after I listened to it six or seven times at the beginning of the year, I didn't pick it up again. I felt guilty for it, yes, but I still didn't pick it up again. I don't know why either. I just listened to it again today and I found so much about the album to respect and love, but I still was not captured. BSP should [...]

Destaque para as faixas "Loralai" , "I'm Sorry Stephen" [...]
Thank You Terrible Two (04.2008, Thrill Jockey) Verdict = Hyperactive instrumental blitz Do you ever feel like your energy has been literally sucked out of you by some invisible force? Suddenly just out of energyand hittin' the hay at hours that defy your youthful age? Well, if so, I may have discovered culprit. Baltimore’s Thank You may very well be the energy thieves that have so subtly extracted our energies in order to use them for the creation of their debut album, Terrible Two . Why am I making such a baseless allegation? Oh, it is only [...]
So this afternoon we took our little one Hailey (who is now 19 months old) to see her first rock concert. One of her (I mean our) favorites, The Terrible Twos (ex-Get Up Kids singer Matt Pryor and his New Amsterdams mates), played a kid-friendly matinee show at Schubas . It was pretty cool. One band for about an hour was just about all most of the kids there could handle (Hailey included). By the end of the Terrible's set, she had removed her socks and shoes and was doing that high-pitched scream [...]
Check it out! My first ever indie rock boyfriend, Matt Pryor, has some new songs out. And a new band! It's called "The Terrible Twos." And there's a song called "Caroline" about a girl who has a birthday right near Christmas ... just like me. Poor Caroline, you better just get used to having 'birthday/Christmas' presents. Or guilt-tripping everyone of your acquaintance through the rest of the 11 months. Trust me here, the guilt trip is your friend. And The Terrible Twos have a cool website where you can color in [...]
It's the holiday season. Chances are if you read music blogs, you aren't looking to buy a gift for your kids, nieces and nephews to let them know you are still hip. But if you are, we have the gift for you. The Terrible Twos are essentially the New Amsterdams (front man Matt Pryor who you might remember from the Get Up Kids ), but this time around they recorded an album for kids. [...]

Aquarium Drunkard Speed Of Dark Listmania here at CYSTSFTS? will begin tomorrow so you'll just have to wait. For today (at least) I'll [...]
Above is a picture of a salad Lasse made for us. It was quite good. I turned 23 on Tuesday. I would have to say it was probably one of the worst days I've ever had. haha but don't get sad I got some new music! These guys sound indie pop but seriously the "yea yea" part is so rad. It reminds me of Merlo saying "yea yea yea" when we play soccer. Just imagine it when you are listening to it. haha Matt & Kim - [...]
