Tweedlers’ Jukebox Song of the Week – Perseverance
I often remember the nineties as being something of a flat decade for music but there were many great bands around. The Britpop scene was a good place to be, of course, as well as rock bands from America. Originating in Yorkshire, the same county I live in, were Terrorvision who slowly built themselves up and in 1996 had a breakthrough with the Regular Urban Survivors album that gave them two UK Top 10 hits. The first was the wonderful Perseverance.
Tony Wright’s pacy vocals work wonderfully with the guitar riff here and though it takes a few listens to pick up the lyrics it doesn’t diminish the impact of the song. I’m not sure what the song is about to be honest other than a love/hate relationship with perseverance in general. Don’t forget the whales and dolphins. It would be a good few years for Terrorvision after this but after their popular song, Tequila, the success soon evaporated. For me, 1996 was when Terrovision were at their peak.
