Although criticized by Holmberg and his crew for having their band members shirtless and painted in black, Teratoma left feeling fulfilled for being in the top five. Vocalist, Blaine Taylor expressed, “98 KUPD pulled off an event that most large markets would never attempt. It was great to be able to make a donation to the Human Society and to be on live broadcast radio.” Taylor said that the competition was stressful, considering it was short notice and a short set. “Each of the top five bands displayed the professionalism, quality, and passion that resonates throughout the local scene and it was a pleasure for Teratoma to be involved.” - No Cover Magazine
"Teratoma is a solid upcoming band." - Joh Holmberg, 98KUPD - 98KUPD

Bio
Blaine Taylor (Vocals), KJ Taylor (Guitarist), and Rayne Magruder (Bassist) initially formed Teratoma in 2003. The native Mesa, AZ founding members realized their full potential of the group with the addition of Matt Gehrman (Percussion) in 2005. Although the members are classically trained, after experiencing Teratoma, listeners and fans (aka Teratoma Babies) will observe a masterful balance of rock music influenced by albums such as Undertow (Tool), Wisconsin Death Trip (Static-X), and Facelift (Alice in Chains). This unique and distinctive blend creates a forceful and potent sound for a multi-genre fan base to savor.
Teratoma is currently in studio recording their debut full-length album set for release in Spring 2012. Taking pride in their work, the album is written and produced by Teratoma, LLC in its entirety. In support of the new album, the band will tour through the western United States with plans to perform in AZ, NM, TX, CA, UT, OR, and WA.
Performing in venues (headlining and supporting) throughout the metro Phoenix area Teratoma has continually strived for perfection while provoking the fence-sitters and are prepared for any challenge. Sharing the stage with national acts such as Helmet, Tantric, Adema, Burn Halo, Mower, and Veins of Jenna has only fueled that endeavor.
