Anthony David "Tony" Wright (born 6 May 1968) is a British musician who is the lead singer of the British band Terrorvision and also the band Laika Dog.[1]

Early life

Wright was born in Bradford to David Wright, owner of a gallery in Bradford that showcased local artists. Originally wanting to become a designer, Wright was persuaded to take a Youth Training Scheme at a local printing firm.[2]

He met the other founding members of Terrorvision whilst working as a glass-collector and barman in a local pub,[3] and the band began their music career as The Spoilt Bratz.

Solo career

In March 2014, Wright announced a solo acoustic project.[4] In September 2014 he released his debut solo album Thoughts 'N' All.[5] The album was met with a positive review on PureRawk.com which called it "Down to Earth, unpretentious and easy to get on with".[6]

In August 2016, he released Walnut Dash.[7]

Other projects

Wright is the owner of Oldfield Press,[8] and has produced a range of letterpress and woodcut printed cards that he sells online, at his coffee shop/print studio/venue (Bloomfield Square) in Otley, Yorkshire, and via a number of pop-up shops in the Keighley area. Following his career in Terrorvision, Wright also pursued a career in building miniature dry stone walls which he sold in galleries around Yorkshire.[2]

During his time with Terrorvision Tony Wright was a popular and frequent guest on the BBC2 TV programme Never Mind the Buzzcocks,[9] and also presented Top of the Pops.[10]
