TURBO Get Their Thrills With Amusement Park Break In To Film Music Video “Alive”
Music Video Premiere via Bravewords
Album “Fast as Fvck” Out Now!
|
|
Last year Turbo released their debut album “Fast as Fvck”, a thrash metal rollercoaster of a musical ride that grabs you and doesn’t let go. Today, they have a new music video in support of the song “Alive” and to film it, they broke into an abandoned amusement park. This stunt is perfect for a band who describes their sound as “if nitroglycerin had a soundtrack”.
The intention with their sound was to be like a gateway-drug into the rock-and-roll lifestyle, but without all the glitz and glamour of a Snakeoil Salesman band really trying to sell you on it. According to the Turbo, this is something a bit grittier, a bit more street, a bit rawer, and a bit more real. They go on to explain the track “Alive”:
“It is more or less a written testament to bad-decisions with one of the most badass riffs on the album slapped on top of it. The song features a call-and-response guitar harmony and an anthemic chorus. There’s not too much more to say on it apart from being among the most fun songs on the album; definitely one to do a keg stand along to!”
Each of the members of Turbo was in separate bands when they came together with the desire to be part of something bigger and badder.
“Something that was gonna grab things right by the cojones and give it a good shake.”
Their album “Fast as Fvck” is an homage to true rock and roll in its most vicious and visceral form. Each of the seven tracks hit like a swift kick to the teeth from a whole new angle of attack, but the assault is far from a mindless battering to the eardrums.
Turbo is highly recommended for fans of Guns n’ Roses, Ramones and Pantera.
The video for “Alive” can be viewed via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

About:
Like your disheveled uncle on Christmas morning, Turbo is trashed, pissed off, sleazy, mean, and sick of your shit. Coming at you hard and fast from the east coast of Canada, rages Turbo. An eclectic mix of rock, punk, and metal, this is what would happen if nitroglycerin had a soundtrack. High impact is the name of the game for them and they are bringing the grit to listeners around the world.
With 100% collaborative effort, the themes that fuel Turbo lyrics revolve around personal experiences or things that just come up while they’re writing the music to a particular piece. The focus is that all the bandmates are able to relate to everything they sing about. It’s real, edgy, and visceral.
The highly potent debut album “Fast as Fvck” was released in 2020; it’s metal enough for the heshers, punk enough for the threshers, and rocking enough to satiate the haughtiest of purest; welcome to Turbo’s patented “Nitro-Rock”.

0 Canada’s Turbo Unleash Quarantine Music Video For “Make Bail” Off Upcoming Album “Fast As Fvck”
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – June 23, 2020
For fans of Motorhead, W.A.S.P., Kill Cheerleader, ZZ Top, Black Sabbath
Canada’s Turbo Unleash Quarantine Music Video For “Make Bail” Off Upcoming Album “Fast As Fvck”
Another band who has been making good use of quarantine time is Canada’s Turbo who have recorded a music video for the single “Make Bail” off their upcoming album “Fast As Fvck”.
Filmed in true DIY style, the video shows the members in each of their houses, and with a little help from filmmaker and videographer Neil Hunt, the video came together better than the band expected. The boys in Turbo definitely deserve an Oscar for their work in this music video, but in case the awards are cancelled they have prepared the following statement about the focus behind the video:
“When COVID-19 was on the rise and the quarantine hit in full-force, everyone was trapped inside and bored on a biblical scale. Shows were cancelled, tours were cancelled, and we had to come up with a fun backup-plan and fast. We decided on a DIY music video, and it only took a very short conversation and a coy laugh before we agreed that a song called “Make Bail” was almost too good of a fit for the “Stay The Blazes Home” breakout-of-your-house video we had in mind.”
As with most ideas Turbo has, the origin behind the “Make Bail” video is kind of humorous. Make Bail was the first song they ever wrote as a band at their very first rehearsal, while the idea of the band was still just a mild thought in the minds of these east coast thrashers. Bad breakups lead to the guys writing a good old fashioned “Go F*ck Yourself” getting rid of you type song.
For fans of Motorhead, W.A.S.P., and Kill Cheerleader; Turbo is like your dishevelled uncle on Christmas morning; Turbo is trashed, pissed off, sleazy, mean, and sick of your shit.
The video for “Make Bail” is on YouTube now HERE.

0 Halifax’s TURBO Kick Nitro Rock Into Full Gear w/ Single ‘Alive’ via Bravewords
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – March 3, 2020
For fans of Motorhead, W.A.S.P., Kill Cheerleader, Pantera, Black Sabbath
Halifax’s TURBO Kick Nitro Rock Into Full Gear w/ Single ‘Alive’
Cruising in from the Canadian Maritimes is TURBO, brandishing their signature brand of potent “Nitro-Rock”. To introduce this onslaught of riffs and madness to the world, they are releasing their debut album “Fast As Fvck” later this year and kicking the party off with the single ‘Alive’.
Between them, the members of TURBO have played every loud-music genre there is to name and these experiences have worked together to shape the current sound with an emphasis on rock and punk. These genres formed the base for their planned debut full length, which TURBO explains in their own words:
“Fast as Fvck is a sort of homage to true rock and roll in its most vicious and visceral form. Each of the seven tracks hit like a swift kick to the teeth from a whole new angle of attack, but the assault is far from a mindless battering to the eardrums. The album ebbs and flows through different moods and subtleties with sophisticated craftsmanship.”
Coined as a gateway drug into the gritty rock-and-roll lifestyle, it’s raw, real and punches full of passion. The in your face attitude that radiates from the album, is translated into the stage presence of the group and they quote:
“Alive, which is more or less a written testament to bad-decisions with one of the most badass riffs on the album slapped on top of it. The song features a call-and-response guitar harmony and an anthemic chorus. There’s not too much more to say on it apart from being among the most fun songs on the album; definitely one to do a keg stand along to.”
Recommended for those who like W.A.S.P., Motorhead and Guns n’ Roses, fans that take interest in this fresh record shouldn’t have to wait too long for another dose, as writing has commenced for more tunes to follow once the debut album is out.

The album as a whole explained by the band:
Fast as Fvck is a sort of homage to true rock and roll in its most vicious and visceral form. Each of the seven tracks hit like a swift kick to the teeth from a whole new angle of attack, but the assault is far from a mindless battering to the eardrums. The album ebbs and flows through different moods and subtleties with sophisticated craftsmanship. Metal enough for the heshers, punk enough for the threshers, and rocking enough to satiate the haughtiest of purests; we in Turbo have patented our own “Nitro-Rock” concoction with our debut album… and this shit is potent.
Track by track explained by the band:
Burning the Wick is the intro track, and one of the first songs we wrote as a band. The opening lyric, “Been living like a fuckin’ reptile” spells out it’s topic in one succinct line. The song is essentially about how I’ve been living since Turbo was formed up until now, and these somewhat grave, but defiant lyrics are sarcastically juxtaposed on a fun, almost bouncy kind of party-punk-metal anthem. BtW sets up the middle-ground of the band’s sound throughout the rest of the album, and doesn’t give you time to catch your air before kicking into…
Alive, which is more or less a written testament to bad decisions with one of the most badass riffs on the album slapped on top of it. The song features a call-and-response guitar harmony and an anthemic chorus. There’s not too much more to say on it apart from being among the most fun songs on the album; definitely, one to do a keg stand along to.
Living on the Line is where the album starts to take a darker turn for a bit, and starts off with our best attempt at a THX sound-test with electric guitars, which feedback its way into a glitzy sunset-over-a-bad-part-of-town type riff. The song kicks in with me essentially turning my own lungs into sand, and then we’re straight cruising from there on out. The subject matter is actually about a good friend of mine who is a sex worker for a living. She got into a bit of a dicey situation at a party she was dancing at while I was trying to write lyrics for this one – getting threatened at gunpoint if she didn’t do certain things and whatnot. Super scary stuff. Perfect lyrical content. So I decided to immortalize that side of the industry lyrically, and thankfully she was a really good sport about it.
Silver Spoon is a real ripper and comes out of the gate wide-eyed with its teeth bared. It’d be insulting to tell you we all took a cue from our harder-metal roots for this one, it’s kind of obvious. It certainly still has that hard-rocking punky fun Turbo aesthetic, but it’s certainly tenser in its approach. We all come from very much a “from the ground-up” kind of background – cut from a somewhat rougher cloth. So it’s essentially a big middle finger to anyone with everything gifted to them trying to tell you how to live your life… and it’s pissed!
Make Bail is the first song we wrote. Sylvain and I were both breaking up with girls in pretty messy breakups, and it seemed appropriate that we test the band’s sound with a semi-poppy 4-minute-cruiser about it. The song is quite snarky, and honestly kind of savage, but I still stand by every word ahaha.
Last Call is the inner monologue of every bartender in every bar as soon as the lights come on and they just want to go home. Sylvain and I had just finished bartending a local rock-and-roll pub at the time and figured the idea was funny enough to actually run with. Musically speaking, the song is crunchy as all hell, has a great trade-off solo section, and definitely deserves a drink in each hand. Enjoy!
Serpent’s Coil is the ballad of the album – if you can call it that – and is certainly the most musically adventurous of the album’s pieces. We aren’t huge fans of love songs, so we didn’t want a Turbo ballad to be too gushy. So undertaking writing this piece, I decided to go for a much more sinister theme, and we think it fits beautifully. The song uses diabolical imagery, with a sound that mixes 80’s metal with rock and black metal elements, and a super catchy chorus. Definitely a fitting reprieve and end to an already pummelling album.

Like your disheveled uncle on Christmas morning, Turbo is trashed, pissed off, sleazy, mean, and sick of your shit. Coming at you hard and fast from the east coast of Canada, rages Turbo. An eclectic mix of rock, punk, and metal, this is what would happen if nitroglycerin had a soundtrack. High impact is the name of the game for them and they are bringing the grit to listeners around the world.
The members of Turbo, who were all in separate bands at the time, came together with the motivation to create something bigger and badder. Something that was gonna grab things right by the cojones and give them a good shake. Evan Frizzle (vocalist/guitar) and Sylvain Coderre (drums) were looking to start up a project, and when they met Lindsey Dicks (guitar) the juices started flowing. Todd Stanley (bass) held the same “Take No Prisoners” vision and immediately joined the fray. The musical influences cited by the band span across the heavy music spectrum, which results in an original, aggressive and varied listening experience.
With 100% collaborative effort, the themes that fuel Turbo lyrics revolve around personal experiences or things that just come up while they’re writing the music to a particular piece. The focus is that all the bandmates are able to relate to everything they sing about. It’s real, edgy, and visceral.
The highly potent debut album “Fast as Fvck” is on the way for 2020; metal enough for the heshers, punk enough for the threshers, and rocking enough to satiate the haughtiest of purests; welcome to Turbo’s patented “Nitro-Rock”.
