AllMusic [1]

Regular Urban Survivors is the third album by British rock band Terrorvision. "Perseverance", "Easy", "Bad Actress" and "Celebrity Hit List" were each released as singles. "Perseverance" and "Celebrity Hit List" were both regular Match of the Day 'goal of the week' regulars. The album featured movie-themed artwork, which depicted the band members as part of a James Bond/Mission: Impossible-style elite fighting force.

To mark the 20th anniversary of the album's release, the band performed Regular Urban Survivors in full during their 2016 UK tour.[2]
