1990: "Uncoffined", The Terminals

One of the least characteristic Flying Nun bands, the Terminals were much darker and acid rock influenced, their vision of "pop" being somewhat more dissonant and obtuse. 1990 also saw the first Terminals album, Uncoffined, but unlike several of the previous Flying Nun groups who were still new to the album format at the turn of the decade, the Terminals were not a longstanding singles band, having only previously released one EP in 1988.

Uncoffined would be their final release for Flying Nun. They would go on to release several more albums for different labels before breaking up sometime after 1995's Little Things. A reunion record, Last Days of the Sun, was issued in 2007, but the band's current status is unknown.
