Them Terribles
Musical artist

Them Terribles is an American rock band based in Los Angeles, California.

History

In 2003 Matt Green, Jonny Black, and Joey Benenati, Santa Barbara, California high school students who had known each other since grade school, began playing together in various punk bands, including one named Standard Issue. In 2003 they moved to Los Angeles for college, found fourth member Geoff Franklen, and changed their name to Them Terribles. In 2007 the band gained national recognition after placing in the top three in an MTV2-sponsored band contest, leading to tours throughout the West Coast.

Style and influences

The band plays punk and 1960s-inspired straight-ahead rock music, in an independent garage band style. They mention Misfits, International Noise Conspiracy, and The Zombies as influences and have been compared with The Hives, Strokes, Richard Hell, Dion & the Belmonts, The Animals, The Von Bondies, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

  • 2005, "Rock the Plank", Los Angeles, winner.
  • In 2007 the band entered MTV2's annual "Dew Circuit Breakout" contest on a lark, after watching a television commercial for the event.

As a result of its appearance in the contest, the band was featured in at least two MTV video features, and placed on rotation on MTV2.
