TALES OF TERROR Test Pressing CD Presents Tales of Terror was a Sacramento hardcore punk band which was active from 1982 until 1986. Some, including Kurt Cobain and Mark Arm, cite Tales of Terror as a key inspiration for the then-burgeoning grunge scene.
Tales of Terror was formed in 1982 by singer Pat Stratford and bassit Geoff Magner, formerly of the punk band Square Cools.  Their one album, the self-titled effort Tales of Terror, was released in 1984 on the San Francisco indie label, CD Presents. Tthe band's career came to a tragic end when Lyon Wong, the son of Chinese-American actor Victor Wong, died on a Midtown sidewalk of head trauma he suffered after being knocked to the curb during a late-night altercation.
