Terry Harper
From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History
Revision as of 04:57, 23 August 2005 by Flexyournoggin (talk | contribs)
Probably one of the most controversial figures related to Louisville's punk and hardcore scenes during the early 2000s, he has been in several metal bands and is more and more setting up shows with 'hardcore' bands (hence the controversy). Billing himself as a "talent buyer", many punks and hc kids find his attitude and business practices (or more precisely the entire "business") annoying or downright appalling. Battles over DIY ethics and "the industry" notwithstanding, no one other than Ryan Patterson is making any attempt to set up enough shows (at least in the 2003-2005 era) to warrant taking some of the shows that Terry has gotten ahold of (ie. Bane, Hatebreed, Dillinger Escape Plan).
