FREEDOM FIGHTERS this is not Vietnam these are not 18 year old kids snatched out of their lives their girlfriends their dreams NO these are morons who chose to go to the desert and take orders that will most likely involve repression and murder in an exchange for money which means they are getting paid to do it there’s a word for scumbags like these and it’s not freedom fighters or patriots (ha ha) it’s mercenaries and there are few things I hate more than mercenaries so I honestly don’t give a shit if they lose a leg or their lives I don’t care if they have little kids, pregnant wives, dogs, mothers, sisters, brothers, neighbors, friends they wives should have taken pills the dogs should have run away the mothers should have had an abortion the brothers and sisters should have changed their names they neighbors should have moved to another place the friends should have chosen a better friend and if they do get blown away into a hundred tiny pieces just tell yourself they got what they deserved fuck ‘em let them burn in hell and stop crying over spoiled milk.

HAND SANITIZER I want a drink so bad I’m thinking of closing the store will it be a beer or a screwdriver? Anyway, it’s noon and I wish I was gone already First came elementary then high school and now this I’m glad I never wanted to go to college or else my life would have been even shorter I can’t even write down properly cos there’s always an asshole busting my balls “Where can I find fisting feast?” “ What about daddy’s gone fishing?” or “this won’t play on my dvd player” that’s cos it’s a VHS, you dumb fuck and my lower back hurts my lower back always hurts and my neck too If it’s not that then it’s the reflux or acidity but there’s always something is this self-pity or just an obsession with everything that’s wrong with me? nope. it’s definitely self-pity Am I supposed to think altruistic thoughts? to put myself in another person’s situations? to have empathy? to fake sensibility towards others? no, thank you. Been there, done that. It’s just that there’s something so unreal like that feeling you get from theater props I get that same feeling from people who are too concerned with somebody else’s problems My own problems are all I have they might not be much compared to other’s but they are mine they are real I see a customer approaching the store fuck him I’m closing the door in his face.

DEAD END a picture that says a lot of things that reminds me I never gave you the time you deserved the time I wanted to spend with you you got the same treatment every other girl got you were used then I got rid of you it felt wrong it still feels wrong I was so confused so overwhelmed by my ego so taken back by your sensitivity your humor your big blue eyes too late to realize my plan had holes in it I had done it before and it had always worked but what if I fell for the victim? then we both become victims as I let us get more and more into something that was sort of a dead end and we danced in the busy streets untouched by the normal people and we kissed like we were trying to resuscitate each other and held hands like we would never let go there was never any future for us maybe that’s why we lived like there was no tomorrow

about

"It's shit. Pure unadulterated shit. But I love it. After drinking myself numb on Wild Turkey, walking naked around the house, there's nothing I love more than to have The Terrorists blasting through my stereo speakers. Except, maybe, ether."
- Raoul Duke, Rolling Stone (Jul 04, 2011)

"Una verguenza para la comunidad latina. Representan la depravacion, celebran el vicio, y viven en la lujuria. Deberian ser fusilados inmediatamente, sin juicio de por medio, y con las balas mas dolorosas que existan."
- Benito Camela, La Opinion (Jul 04, 2011)

"In your face old school punk...."
- Ginger Coyote, Punk Globe Magazine (Aug, 2011)

"Those who love life do not listen to The Terrorists. Nor do they go to the movies, actually. No matter what might be said, access to the artistic universe is more or less entirely the preserve of those who are a little fed up with the world. "
- Michel Houellebecq, Paris Review (May 11, 2011)

"A garagey kind've punk band. The microphone they were using made it sound like they were singing through a 1930's radio. I liked them a lot and I got a really rad cd."
- Wolf Woodcock, Rock N Roll Explosion (Sep 2, 2011)

"I feel the same way about The Terrorists as I do about herpes."
- H.S.T., LA Weekly (May 31, 2011)

"The voice sounds like it was soaked in a vat of lighting fluid, left hanging on a drying rope on a Chinatown balcony for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a scooter. "
- R. Fogwill, LA Record (Jun 10, 2011)

"Heavily indebted to the Ramones and the edgy post-punk pop of the Buzzcocks, Shoot It Up relies on its incisive sneer and buzzsaw guitars to drag itself through seven tracks of nostalgia-driven rebellion."
- Chybucca Sounds (Jun 12, 2011)

"They [The Terrorists] offend the sensibility of any God-fearing, decent American, and represent everything that is wrong and corrupt about our modern society. Shame on them."
- K. Reeves, Los Angeles Times (Apr 18, 2011)

The Terrorists Los Angeles, California

Sometime in mid 2011, an argentine expatriate began recruiting mercenaries through Craigslist. By 2012 there were several hundred members, perhaps as many as 2500. Many were Serbian army officers. The professed goal of the group was the creation of a Greater Sound, by use of violence, if necessary. Lately, they trained guerillas and saboteurs, planned political murders, and played wild live shows. ... more
