Genre-hopping and subtly fusing melodic, Beatlesque pop music with folk, country and indie rock, Terriers is the main project of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Danny Cohen. Their debut album "Unrequited Admiration Society" (2013) was produced by Dan Duszynski (Cross Record, Gold Motel), and they quickly began sessions for a followup that winter with Bobby Lord (Springtime Carnivore, Jagged Jaw). After several lineup changes, studio moves and general BIG LIFE THINGS, their second album "I Don't Still Want to Unless You Want to" was released in the fall of 2017. Jokes they've already heard include "Did you guys do the theme song to that FX show Terriers?"
