Terry Hoax - Splinterproof (1994)

Terry Hoax is a rock band from Hanover. It formed in 1990 and disbanded in 1996 after a farewell tour. She is now active again and in October 2009 released a new album called "Band of The Day".

Her music style is rock, her singing language is English.

Terry Hoax recorded their first albums at Peppermint Park Studios under the direction of producer Jens Krause.

The band's most successful single was a 1992 cover of the Depeche Mode song Policy of Truth, whose music video is still considered the most-played by a German band on MTV. The song comes from the band's most commercially successful album, Freedom Circus, which features Sabine Bulthaup (of Frühstyxradio) as backing singer.

The following album Splinterproof was musically much harder and rockier, but without completely giving up the catchiness of the predecessor.

After the success of Freedom Circus and Splinterproof, the band headed to Los Angeles to record their fourth studio album. Released in 1995, Den Kinder geht es gut, und sie haben grüßen (whose lyrics were in English despite the German album title) already showed that many different musical currents competed with each other within the band. On the album with Dreamer - the man who always wants to sleep there is also something unusually experimental.

Shortly after the release of the album, it was announced that The Children Are Fine, and they send their greetings would remain the last Terry Hoax studio album and that they would split up after the end of the already booked tour due to musical differences. According to his own statements, singer Oliver Perau (who is only listed as "Perau" in all Terry Hoax booklets) was increasingly dissatisfied with singing in a rock band and wanted to make more soul and jazz-oriented music.

On October 28th and 29th, 2005, ten years after the split, Terry Hoax found himself again for two acclaimed "one-time Runion concerts" (according to the band themselves) that sold out within a very short time on the occasion of the opening of the club and event center Lindener Freiheit in Hanover together. Fury in the Slaughterhouse played under the pseudonym "The Five Glorious Six" in the opening act. The operator of the event center is friends with the band and was able to persuade the members to reunite..
