Terminal Stupid was formed in Brussels in 1978 by a bunch of 16 year old
school mates. They rehearsed and played a handful of gigs between 1978
and 1981. They were from the "second wave punks" or "afterpunks",
influenced by early international punk bands like Ramones, Sex Pistols,
Crass and Warsaw and locals like X-pulsion, Phallus Band and later by
Contingent or Spermicide for the political side. The 'Shock Therapy'
demo tape (their only recordings) was recorded in 1981, just before the
band's split in 1982.
