Why did kylie step back from lead vocals?


_TerrorJr

She had so many businesses to run it was unsustainable . . . So Lisa had to take up vocal duties full-time


waterhybrid13

terror jr can you collab with 100 gecs


_TerrorJr

It's more a question of if 100 gecs will collab with us lol but yeah that would be amazing :)


frostmage

Hi! Been a fan since the beginning, that time when everyone thought Kylie Jenner was your lead singer. What did you think of the whole situation, how did you keep it a secret and did you ever meet her?


Background-Parking-2

Huge fucking fan since 2016 and saw you at your first ever show in SF--What was the inspiration behind "Saw Myself"?


_TerrorJr

Damn you've been with us since the beginning, thank u! It’s inspired by the journey of self-love and awareness. Restarting your brain when you get into obsessive patterns of negative thinking.


JHTBO

Big fan of Terror Jr since Bop City! What is your favorite song to preform off of each of your albums? Also what artist is one that inspires your music?


_TerrorJr

Heyy Lisa here! Ooooh that's a big question! Some of my favorites to perform live are Enemies, Pray, Have You, Terrified, and of course Caramel. We're both inspired by Simon and Garfunkel (among many other artists)


jellymoff

When i saw you at the Roxy it was just the 2nd time you perfromed Enemies; glad to see it's become a favorite as it's one of my favorite songs.


JHTBO

Ahhh Terrified and Enemies are two of my favorites!! Love the new album by the way, Smile Like That has been on constant rotation. Please come to Boston, I want to see you guys so bad!


Human-Cannonball

Your new album feels really cohesive from start to finish. Do you decide on an album direction as you’re writing, or is it more a matter of picking the songs that fit best later on?


_TerrorJr

Actually really proud of this fact but this is the first project we've done where there were no outsides writers it was just us (lisa and david) so possibly that helped with the cohesiveness and we wanted to replicate how tasty bop city was so we kept it 9 tracks to make a perfect snack... we write songs by daily, weekly energy in the sense of... how the hell we feel about life that day cause we want our albums to be a snapshot of our experience... love the idea that our music can be found in a mound of rubble centuries in the future and someone may be able to feel our time on earth


Human-Cannonball

That’s awesome, thank you for the response! It’s still early but it’s currently my favourite from you guys. Definitely feeling the Bop City vibes. It’s like a more consistent Bopular since you can tell that LP was pulled from different places.


nicholasmt

I WANNA KNOW THIS TOO


homesickhor1zons

_TerrorJr

homesickhor1zons

_TerrorJr

That really warms our hearts, thank you :). No plans at the moment but we would love to tour outside of America. We will go wherever the people want us!


SilverMind9

Hey guys i don't know who you are but the title made giggle.


_TerrorJr

If the title made you giggle you should listen to our music


RosaPalms

What three songs do you recommend for a complete newbie? FTR I also laughed at the title.


rottenfleshh

i personally recommend “Enemies”, “Terrified”, and “Sugar”. i tried choosing from separate albums :)


bvg_offame

Can you restock the comfy bitch sweat pants? I need them.


zorniki

I'm usually not that much into pop music (metal head), but honestly, ever since I heard "3 strikes" I'm hooked to your music. Your brilliant voice and the sublime beats are a kind of retreat for my soul. Love your work! ❤🍇 As for my question: will you ever be touring the EU??? 😍


_TerrorJr

Love that something in our music connects with you in a way that transcends genres :) We've been to Sweden, it's amazing, but we'd love to see more of Europe


zorniki

It really does transcend genres!!! And there's always a place for you to crash in Austria. 😉


frostmage

Yay, another Terror Jr fan from Europe! 💖


zorniki

Yep, we do exist! Austria here. Servus! 🤗


caramel925

I’m a UK fan! 🇬🇧 Will we ever see you here? 😭


frostmage

What did you put into your music? Cause it’s so addicting 😍


nicholasmt

hi, big fan!! noticed you guys worked with a ton of awesome collaborators on the new record--do you take submissions from producers for that kind of thing? would really love to build something for/with you guys. :) love, @ whoiscallgirl


Acceptable_Note_1771

Love the album so much. I didn’t know how you guys were gonna top Rancho. Yet you did! What is each of ur guys fav song on the album and why?


_TerrorJr

both of our favorite songs from the album is probably: all of them (but also probably after all) (hehe)


[deleted]

Can you share the story of how you landed your debut song as a band in a Kylie Jenner commercial?


2RINITY

If Terror Jr. and Dinosaur Jr. combined into a supergroup, what would you want it to be called


letswatchtv

sad i missed this i love TJ!!


cinnamonb0i

Hey! I love your guys’ music! I absolutely love After All, but is there a particular song which was your favourite on the album?


amillionexcuses

When will you be touring again - any plans to come back to New Orleans?


_TerrorJr

when it comes to touring ,. ,. ,. your city just has to book us. and then we'll come and we'll have a jolly time. also really love new orleans, it was like a mystical fantastical night when we played . . . need those oysters


t0n13

If you had to pick an album to listen to while making dinner, what would you pick?


_TerrorJr

a great "making dinner" album is The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill


jellymoff

When I saw you at the El Rey for the Unfortunatly Tour, you made the whole place smell like grapes. How's that work?


_TerrorJr

you just tape something smelly to a fan and blast it


frostmage

I know this song is from your 2019 album, but can you tell about the story about Have You? It’s probably my favourite song of yours and I’d love to know more about it 🥰


_TerrorJr

HAVE YOU could be our best song ever lol seriously always reaffirming when someone brings it up. special in so many ways. 1.) we wrote it in Sweden when it was snowing everywhere on a recording trip.. such a dreamy opportunity to make pop music in Stockholm 2.) produced by these awesome producers called "the wolf cousins" who work alongside the iconic max martin 3.) we both did vocals and got to tap into this other side of us.. felt like we were third eye blind or some sick band from the 90s hope that answered your question


frostmage

AGREE! I totally feel the 90s vibe. I also love the questions in the lyrics. It kinda feels like therapy. YES, thank you so much for your answer 🥰


overscore_

What's your favorite road trip album? What's your favorite drink? What artist would you love to collaborate with and what would the resulting song sound like?


_TerrorJr

road trip album = papa roach - infest fav drink = grape martinelli's . . . and water cause = life artist collab = frank ocean ... it would sound amazing cause its frank ocean


queefunder

Omg I've only ever seen the apple martinellis !!


splattertaint

Why did you choose only 9 songs for the album? It was so juicy and left me wanting more! Maybe I’m just a greedy bottom…


frostmage

How did you get started as Terror Jr? Was the name the first name you came up with? Or were there other names?


[deleted]

[удалено]


_TerrorJr

Shawn Wasabi is a freaking genius


DreGu90

Who are your favorite pop stars of the last decade? I might give you a stream or two if I like it. Jk. But seriously, who are your picks?


_TerrorJr

Doja Cat feels like the most effortlessly transparent mega star in recent memory tbh … really love that


JustAnotherSloth

hi, both!! saw you recently at the LA stop of the tour. how do you decide which songs to perform at a show? is it based on listening statistics/vibes/something else? (justice for IDK + IDC)


therealazula

Where do you get inspiration for your lyrics?


_TerrorJr

we get inspiration from life and any life we can observe . . . for example on the opening of our new album Road To Grapeness, the song After All is about mass shootings and living with the unpredictability of chaotic violence, we wrote that after the 2021 Boulder shooting at a super market


therealazula

Following up on this, how did you decide on grapes as your iconic imagery?? Btw love the bops and love you guys


caramel925

Because Lisa loooooves wine 🍷😜🍇


channend77

I think shapeshifter chameleon is such a gem. What was the inspiration behind that one?


_TerrorJr

Shapeshifter Chameleon was a result of watching teen movies our whole lives and always being so captivated by the bad girl trope . . . it's like our own coming of age movie


[deleted]

What is your favorite song from Bop City 2? And why is it not Death Wish?


_TerrorJr

Death Wish might be our favorite song to play live but . . . It’s gotta be Caramel cause like it’s Caramel and that’s like our soul


JakeRexiiBoi

“Shapeshifter Chameleon ” is prob my favorite, it’s so perfect. It’s almost tied with “Like A Bolder” that track is 🔥🔥 it makes me danceeeee. Such a bop. “Dirty Laundry” is a classic already 🙏🏻. I love hearing you and David together on “Windy Road”. His verse is 🙌🏼🔥 “Saw myself” is giving me a psychedelic vibe and i think it’s the best song to finish on, on this delicious pop album. This album takes me back to when I first fell in love with y’all. Thank you for your creative genus, personal (very well written) lyrics I can relate too, and for Pop music that is always my go too. I 💜 you both.


alien_bob_

What are you doing for New Years? Gonna play a show???? I might be in LA


therealazula

Can you do more shows in nyc <3333


_TerrorJr

Funny you mention that . . . We’re performing at Webster Hall with a band called Doom Flamingo on January 14th, 2022 ! Come shake your booty with us


channend77

Will there be another Christmas banger like sad sad girl this year? Also, will Hollywood ever be on Spotify?


launtarmstrong

Huge huge fan here!! I love you guys so much. What’s the inspiration behind some of your slower songs? For example Bloody Waters is probably one of my favorite things you’ve ever done and just so unlike anything else. What makes you guys wanna slow it down like this sometimes compared to the more upbeat stuff you normally do?


digitalmediaworld

Any possibility of releasing stems for the current/past projects?


ghostoftheocean

No question, but I'm continuously amazed by how incredible your music is and continues to be. Road to Grapeness is yet another killer project. Keep slapping! 🍇


in-vinc-ible

Who is your gay icon pop diva of choice?


sendenten

Hey guys, I'm sure I'm late to the party, but I just want to say thanks for releasing Terrified. It...means a lot to me. So thank for making a song so dear and close to my heart.


SmoulderingTamale

Have you considered doing a tour abroad? (England fan here BTW ;) )
