Terashain
TERASHAIN (tare-uh-shane) is a hard-melodic Rock band based in Phoenix, AZ. The band has been active in the Phoenix area nightclub scene since 1990. TERASHAIN became known in the mid 1990’s for putting on an energetic, arena-like rock show with strong, dance-able rock originals containing high soaring ballads and hard-rock anthems. The band began fusing their original tunes into a full four-hour Rock cover set in 1998, and continues to play a mix of popular rock classics, and TERASHAIN originals that a very loyal following have come to expect from them. In 2001, TERASHAIN released their first self-released CD “Truth” to an anxious following of loyal listeners. The CD quickly generated a buzz and show attendance began to soar. With the addition of guitarist Dave Hassie in 2002, songwriting for the follow-up CD commenced almost immediately. In October of 2006, the long awaited, 14-track “Dawns Early Life” hit the local Phoenix scene like a heard of wild stallions, sending the band to new heights and creating serious demand for the performance of tracks from the new CD. Singer Roger Penton hits new levels of emotion with soaring vocals, while guitarist Dave Hassie delivers technicality with melodic tones to sonically enhance each song. Drummer Mike Carnicom and Bassist Lance Etchells have created and captured a thunderous rhythm unmatched by other rock bands. Fans and critics alike are finding value in the strong songwriting on the CD. Singer/writer Roger Penton notes, “As writers and melodic-rock fans, we set out to make those songs that could be used as a sort of soundtrack to life. Songs that you can really feel what the writer was feeling just by the way it is sung or played. That’s the stuff that we grew up with.” Among the most common comments about “Dawns Early Life” is the diverse mix of tunes included on the CD. The band charges out of the gate with the rock anthem “No Tomorrow”, and then melts the hearts of romantics with the love-pledging ballad “Next To You”. Listeners also find feel-good gems like “Dreams Gone By” and “Hearts Desire” equally appealing. But perhaps the most requested, and popular song at the live shows, “Keeping Secrets” has proven to be the track that has generated the most positive reviews. Whatever the listener’s taste in music, all audiences are sure to find enjoyment in “Dawns Early Life” from TERASHAIN. And in the Fall of 2007, TERASHAIN acquired second guitarist Tevis Maloney to round out the sound, and add to an already strong line-up. The band has recently debuted an all new show, complete with enough cover songs to last an entire weekend without repeating a song. TERASHAIN will start writing songs for the next CD in the Fall of 2007, as well. You can find samples of ALL Terashain original songs in the 'Music' portion of this website.
