| Andrew 'Beano' Bennett (Vocals/Guitar), Craig Maddocks (Guitar), Russell Youthed (Bass) and Craig Stapley (Drums) are Tern. The Cambridgeshire four piece, pride themselves on their energetic, up-tempo live performances treading the line masterfully between all of rock's genres; grunge, mod and even a hint of metal thrown into the mix. Whilst never sacrificing melody or lyrical ambition, Tern have discovered the rare knack of being both entertaining and intelligent simultaneously, with biting riffs and hard-hitting grooves settling nicely with anthemic choruses and showmanship.
Formed in 2002, a couple of short years later have seen the band develop into a highly regarded prospect for the future, in both the studio and on stage. Already hugely successful on the local scene with performances in popular venues such as The Met Lounge , Peterborough and Cambridge's popular breeding ground for unsigned talent, The Man on the Moon , the band are now starting to head further afield. A hugely successful appearance at the prestigious Dublin Castle in London elevated the band to a higher level, in what looks like being just at the start of their journey as their status grows.
With an impressive local following, gig and recording experience behind them, coupled with encouraging interest from management and record labels, its no wonder Tern are being tipped for big things. In a world littered with rock wannabies and bands with ideas above their station, Tern will stand out a mile offering a rare musical necessity; talent with substance. And as the march towards commercial and critical acclaim continues, you'd be a brave man to stand in their way.
