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."

Album Time!

So it's time to lay down our debut album. We're all pumped, been working out every second of the day to look like how we feel. Looking to get most of it down before Xmas and do a bit more in new year. We're recording it in Bristol, at our favourite haunt, Bink Bonk. We were visited us in our dreams by 4... Fangs of the Serpent, doom changes his flesh, the approaching battle, gold is the the dream of the Alchemist and mortal men.

So thats whats up right now. Looking forward to touring the Album in new year and seeing your faces. If you can't wait that long then check out our myspace for gig dates and fresh hot whimsical melodies.

Download!!

This is our Thrash Hits interview with the most excellent Hugh just after we played at Download '09. We had an awesome time playing and meeting Phil Anselmo and Rex from Down was by far the highlight...well apart from our Thrash Hits interview of course, oh yea and playing in front of almost 2,000 people felt pretty good too...and the food wasn't bad either actually and the free beer and whiskey went down well...basically it was all good. We filmed some nonsense too which we'll put up at some point. Until then, heres us on Thrash Hits!!!!!!

Maida Vale

Hey Shnozzers, how's it hanging?

So we just got back from our latest London jaunt, had a Levi's
Ones To Watch show in the Barfly (cheers Joel!) and a Maida
Vale Session for Rob Da Bank's show (cheers Rob!).

It started off trying to ditch the van in a dodgy parking yard so
we could get into radio 1's main studios to record some voice
bits to go with the songs. God knows how they'll turn out, it's 
kinda weird talking straight when you're in Jo Whiley's chair 
after she's just left the room while Edith Bo-Man interviews 
Huge Ackman (Wolverine, of course!) live through a window in 
the studio next door. It's all over too way too quick to realise 
that all we've just said is complete shit but I'm sure those 
editors will make us sound like we're as cool as Huge himself
did next door. Actually they were piping his interview into the
bogs as well, he sounded even cooler in there.

Onward then to Camden for the Barfly show. Surrounded by 
good friends and all in the luxury of their new dressing rooms,
it really made us feel like the privileged scumbags we should 
be by now, relaxing in the shit-stinking fumes of our own 
arses! It's been a couple of weeks since we played so the hot
lights and expectant crowd was a welcome sight! Another 
chance to spaff it out good and proper!

After a long, drawn-out night, and a quick snooze, it's time 
to race across London to try and find this Maida Vale place.
Thinking we're all set up for disaster, getting the van stuck in
a Saisbury's car park and too many roadworks, we made it on 
the dot! Of all the minutes in the day, how do things always 
end up working out on the one minute you least expect?

We haven't had a recording session go so smoothly as this one
did. Basically, Miti is a hero, whilst setting up our stuff, we 
already felt he knew who we were and what we were there for.
3 hours after pulling up at the door, we had 3 hot tracks
sounding almost exactly how we wanted! A tiny bit of mixing 
here and there and that was it! I'm listening to them now 
actually (but you've got to wait, haha!) and they sound so gritty
it's amazing. And scarily fast too! TURBO SESSION. We found
out the old tape set-up they've got is due to be digitalised the
fuck out of there pretty soon. Don't do it BBC! It's worth every 
penny to keep it running. If it goes, thank god we got in 
there first!

See you all soon!
