God. Just found out that Jack Terricloth, lead singer of the World Inferno Friendly Society, has died. loudwire.com/jack-terriclot…
It's a silly thing I guess to talk about favourite bands, but for many years I'd certainly have called them that. I always figured that one day I'd go to New York to see them. I suppose that'll never happen.
He was incredibly vivid. Witty, hyper-intelligent, funny, profound, experimental, bristling with fuck-you punk energy. The man was a hero.
It's difficult to capture what was so special about him in a clip, but this does a decent job of showing his strange mixture of aggression, wit, joy and flamboyance
I am now going to spend several days just listening to World Inferno records.
