A new electro pop punk band called Terry Poison is letting the world know that Israel is not only about war, it’s also about partying. Terry Poison was born four years ago in the newest incarnation of club culture in Tel Aviv. Their universe is not based on politically engaging songs, instead it’s an ode to the joy of living and partying. They wanna show the world a different side of their country, the unknown one, the one that the BBC and CNN don’t talk about.

The band is Petite, Louise and Gilli, three sexy, provocative, and mysterious girls that describe Terry Poison as the “sex and rock’n'roll girl they would have liked to be”. Terry Poison is everything they aren’t - it doesn’t come from a bourgeoisie home, it never goes to sleep and it never gets old. As the Israeli governement doesn’t support these kinds of musical artists, the band built its reputation by self-promotion through its MySpace page. An agent found them and contacted them, booking the girls in Paris’s hottest clubs, and helping them take Europe by storm.

They currently have an EP available on their record label Ekleroshock, but their first album won’t be out until next June. But don’t fret, the girls are already getting worldwide reviews and being supported by two of Tel Aviv’s most renowned stylists. No doubt Terry Poison is some of the best news coming out of Israel!
