[@Joe-dg6ls]

The mere fact they can perform songs written like this is just insane.

[@goobag123]

check out monobody if you like well-written/batshit songs that sound impossible live.

[@SamuelLJacksonsFish]

I think the more insane part is once you wrap your head around them the songs are so damn catchy.

[@TremulantSlug]

They get so groovy and funky and so good

[@billysuter]

its called practice

[@model_number_band]

@@billysuter It's called a shitload of practice. ;)

@Jagerz More like Luigi

[@TheSunshineGroup]

I can't wait for when Nick Reinhart is 60 and finally gets into modular synths. I feel like it's inevitable

[@MikauGuitar]

The Sunshine Group holy shit, I never thought of that

[@dio_nysi]

Inevitably Billy Corgan and his epic Siddhartha jam came to mind. Pretty difficult for Nick to top that... /s

[@charizardoystersauce]

He’s already using midi synth pickups on his guitar

[@danielsipos2793]

you have to see them live to truly get their music they have the weirdest vibes man, It's half laughter half headbanging, they tickle your brain

[@TubularToob]

Audiotree always gets the best artists, great session.

[@yumadapaka]

i can hear a little bit of 80's king crimson sound. im am lovin this!

[@nickoakley8810]

70's too, the Trash Generator opening riff is straight Fracture

def king crimson vibes from the song Slimed

[@CIA_Farts]

The shred on Warpless Run makes me wanna flip the fuck out!

[@SamuelLJacksonsFish]

That shit just warms my heart every time.

[@nixthelatter]

It blows my mind how cleanly they execute this hyper-complex stuff! Legends!

[@GrizzlyDave85]

I feel like they could be on the Eric Andre Show

[@jofunin3680]

I dont think they want to risk having their gear destroyed

[@GrizzlyDave85]

Jofunin they wouldn’t, the musical guests at the end are usually safe

[@no.mans.guy.]

Spencer Seim from Hella was on an episode so it could definitely happen. I imagine eric definitely was into tera melos at one point since he was a big lightning bolt and hella fan

[@ryanlevin1912]

that would go pretty well with how rambunctious the show is, a nice angular track in the background

[@ggaabb_]

I bet Eric would make them play with acoustic instruments while being shocked with cattle prods or some shit like that.

Fuckin A... i saw this band when i was about 18 or so... I'm 30 now. God damn time flies. I haven't followed them since drugs, I need to catch up. Thanks audiotree, you da bes.

[@nublahdough]

crapdragoon shame my dude if you got time check out Patagonian rats

[@SamuelLJacksonsFish]

38:18 The way he says "there's some weirdos out there" cracks me up, holy shit. I think I might be one of the weirdos tbh.

[@TheSunshineGroup]

These guys get tighter and tighter every year

[@massimoamato5593]

Let me know about how the next annual orgy is.

[@jacvic0790]

I was thinking similar 😀

[@richeeskullz]

Nick lived next door to my best friend. He also jammed out on a cheap set of drums I had. He is also the greatest guitarist I know.

[@tristanconrad8584]

it's like they are sonic youth or fugazi from the future

[@gregseaferd5022]

Reminds me of polvo

[@dylanloveland4590]

Nah bro listen to Faraquet. They’re pretty similar to fugazi if a ything

[@hendog5667]

Imo they are like a grungier version of 80s king crimson

[@7Korat]

And future Kurt Cobain

[@drpibisback7680]

@@windtunnelxo Tera Melos have existed for many years before Black Midi, so really they're more like Tera Melos than Tera Melos are like them. Unless you're referring to the "Sonic Youth/Fugazi from the future" thing, which I think fits more with Tera Melos (especially the Sonic Youth comparison, maybe not Fugazi as much). Black Midi's dope, though.

[@ianhughes100]

That Hella cover they did for the intro was tight.

[@davidrush85]

Tera Melos was my favorite band back in 2010 range. They Came to Busan, Korea without me knowing about it while I was teaching abroad in my 20's. Found out 1 month after from another girl teacher who had no idea who they were. She found out Nick grew up on the same street as her in (California?) and she ended up going out to eat with the whole band at Korean BBQ. I was devistated! Missed an opportunity of a lifetime with PANTERA-FUCKING-MELOS! Wish I knew what he meant by the Korea story and what happened!

[@someguyontheinternet2714]

These guys are so underappreciated.

[@mikomedina1682]

What a talent, Singing with those glitchy riffs while stepping in his insane pedalboard is out of this world

[@rexk4208]

Listened to these songs so many times, that i can sing along.

[@rustygrant]

Damn, warpless run is a crazy technical song. Really cool to hear it live.

[@Haarization]

truly beyond their time by at least 2 decades maybe more.

[@janhundling4647]

nick absolutely insane with the pedals

[@gabriel_export]

Man, these guys get cooler and cooler the more I hear them talk and play. Saw them live a month ago in DC and they blew my mind. Easily one of the top 5 best shows I've ever been to.

[@stephensporman8206]

this band is wild. Super creative and unconventional. gained a new fan

[@vhsodre]

John Clardy is my new favorite drummer. Really great band.

[@C.good2damax]

My opinion... the best Audiotree performance!!!! Tera Melos Love

The only band I've seen where every band member says something during the interview segment. They even speak for roughly the same amount of time!

[@ahmetcangokceer]

I like how the interviewer is not so much about pedals and asks these questions in her way. you know? great for not-pedal geeky audiences i think. i like a lot. great interviewer choice id say.

[@andrewfox2411]

Anyone know her name? I've only ever seen her host these guys and Delta Sleep. She's great!

[@nunyab8972]

The solo at 39:15 is beyond godly holy shit.

so happy my friend (whats good biznatchhhy) turned me on to this band a few years ago. this is the band i get excited to show people when they ask me what i'm into....this annnnnnd chief keef....that'd be dope if nick made beats. btw

[@juancamilo114]

El mundo aún no está preparado para esto, pero eventualmente lo estara. Tera Melos representa a los Ramones cuya semilla germinara en un próximo Nirvana que lo cambiará todo, otra vez.

These guys a fucking amazing I need to see them live and feel that

[@TheSunshineGroup]

Best two shows I've ever been to are the two Tera Melos shows I've seen in Toronto and Ithaca. I was lucky that the crowd was pro-moshing so the mosh energy got the the band and it was a HEAVY fuckin show mannnn

i saw these guys play at a roller rink back in like 2007. after the show we smoked and had a long convo about deftones. good times.

[@neerbronoc]

GO SEE THEM ON THIS TOUR. THEY FUCKING RIP RN.

[@slipknot80210]

I saw them in Denver about a month ago. Its was fucking rad, the entire crowd was a mosh pit and everyone was loosing their collective shit. It might have just been crowd service, but Nick said in between songs it was one of the craziest shows he'd played.

[@jonathanzavala73]

Theyre like the modern captain beefheart, i love it

[@jayc9940]

The sporadic blast-beat with tremolo guitar parts on Dyer’s Ln sound black-metal inspired 😯

This was great thanks.

[@777fiddlekrazy]

*******Sonically INTERESTING!! I dig it! Punk edged but more technical than one would think. The pedal play becomes a very integral part of the compositions and takes a very ambidextrous mindset! Though much better at this craft it also reminds ne of EARLY Early Pink Floyd, VoiVod, wooden stars and one other early 90's band that slips my mind that my drummer(r.i.p randy) had turned me on to back in the day. Diggin' this Fellas!! Never Stop watcha do!!*******
