Named after a maneating toad from Dungeons and Dragons, Tarrasque were a
thrash band that formed in the mid-80s and crossed over with fans of
both the Hawaii hardcore and metal scenes during their time together.
They recorded an absolutely crucial five song demo in 199,
totally under the influence of Slayer, Exodus and early Metallica with
it's headbanging riffs, double time beats and end of the neck shreddity, but I also hear a rough around the edges, NYHC feel to some the songs that begs
for circle pits and two-step moves.1990 DEMO

Tarrasque interview from Magmazine by Shawn Lopes
The color photo was actually the 1st backdoor show i know of. With either M,U,G and or Broken Man. Our 2nd show as a band,also right before the massive stage was put in where many a punk,long hair, skin head, thrasher,regular joe ,was tempted to take a dive. Thankyou Mari Matsuoka who put on that show and showed me what it took to keep it going while she REFUSED AND RESISTED FOR YEARS TO COME ,, AND THEN WORK FOR GOLDEN VOICE PRODUCTIONS TO BRING THE ISLANDS SOME BETTER MUSIC THEN THE OTHER GUYS WERENT BRINGING FOR ALL US STUCK ON THE ROCK, broke asses who couldnt afford to go mainland and see all the killer bands we never heard of Thanx again Mari and Corby.
