A storm is brewing in Wilmington’s indie scene, and Tercel is at the heart of it. Tracks such as “Heron” and “Typical” summon a tsunami of nostalgia via exaggerated vocal inflections, addictive guitar riffs, and raw tones. All are necessary ingredients for the cocktail that is true indie rock. The band embraces alternative culture by displaying vulnerability and rawness in both their lyricism and instrumentation.
Tercel transports the listener to a fonder time with its reverb-filled early 2000s flair while keeping in touch with modern themes, as seen in the lyricism of the song “Stuck.” Savannah Wood, the lead singer and bassist of the group, had this to say regarding the track: “Stuck is a reaction song about the world around us. A world that feels over, done, ruined, on fire. But it also makes us think if we can’t keep pretending everything is alright, are we going to do anything about it?”
December 5th marks the release date of Tercel’s self-titled indie rock EP, courtesy of Fort Lowell Records. Enjoy the World Premiere of Tercel’s song “Stuck” here with The Big Takeover.
