Kerrang!


Kerrang! has shone down from the heavens upon our swamp of noise and written some rather lovely words about us. Thank you kind K! people for sticking us in there and showing us your almighty love. Get it this week or forever hold your £2.20 and sob until you turn green and die. Here's the interview that's featured within just in case your eyes have exploded with excitement and you can only read with your mind...

"We have a shared love of the peculiar and unusual," states Turbowolf singer Chris Georgiadis proudly. "We have a scientific thirst for seeing what happens when you do what you're not supposed to!"
The Bristol quartet - completed by guitarist Andy Ghosh, bassist Jeremy Dunham and drummer Chris Davis - may be dedicated to flipping the script on the rock 'n' roll rulebook, but, as they have increasingly discovered, the least obvious route, often makes for the most interesting results.
"We don't pander to anyone," reckons Chris. "We try not to over think anything and see where it takes us. That's the real driving force and so far it's working."
Forming a few years back thanks to a shared love of Danzig and a desire to be as loud as Motorhead, they soon realised a change or tack was in order if they to make any impact beyond raucous local shows.
"We realised we weren't going to better Motorhead," laughs Andy. "So we tried to approach it from a fresh angle adding weird sounds, synths, using guitars like basses and basses like guitars."
It's a formula that's got tongues wagging and jaws hitting floors wherever they go, with a hugely successful 2009 seeing them tear it up at South By Southwest in Texas, The Download festival, and on tour with The Computers. With a debut album in the works, preceded by a teaser EP due out in March, the fiery foursome are hoping to capitalise on that momentum and get back on the road for some more "beers for breakfast" once studio work is completed.
"The record will hopefully take the listener to a pretty weird place," says Chris. "Live, we just smash it as hard we can so we're excited to see what we come up with."
