Terror Couple

Taking its name from Terror Couple Kill Colonel - an early single by pioneering UK gothic band Bauhaus - Terror Couple was a 1989 release touted as being the first compilation of Hamilton music.

Terror Couple was also the name of the collective that compiled the tape, instigated by members of two Hamilton bands, Cygnet Committee and Requiem. Sean Lynch, Daniel Allen, Dave Whitehead and Dave Lowndes co-ordinated the recording of the bands.

Appearing on the cassette were Creepy Crawlies, Circle and the Square, Cygnet Committee, Aesthetic Cigarette, Requiem, Pieces of Cod, Scharnhorst, Grant and Allen, Homonculus Split and Cowgacid. It was sold from the Contact 89FM office.

Dave Whitehead and Dave Lowndes then went on to form the production company Theta Productions during the early-mid '90s.
