Turbonegro

About

Turbonegro: masters of apocalyptic denim-clad rock, a band whose sonic blitzkrieg detonates at the crossroads of punk fury, glam swagger, and hard-rocking thunder. Hailing from Oslo, Norway, they forged a sound that owes as much to the Ramones and the Stooges as it does to KISS and Queen. Think leather jackets and face paint, but with a self-aware irony and a devilish sense of humor that sets them apart. The band's journey began in the late '80s, but it was their mid-'90s resurgence, spearheaded by albums like "Ass Cobra" and "Apocalypse Dudes," that solidified their cult status. The "Turbojugend," their fiercely loyal global fanbase, clad in denim jackets bearing the Turbonegro logo, became a visible symbol of their unique cultural impact. The band briefly dissolved in 1998 due to health issues but roared back to life in 2002, continuing to unleash albums and tour relentlessly. Known for their theatrical live shows and over-the-top aesthetic, Turbonegro's collaborations have been as eclectic as their music, ranging from punk icons to Norwegian metal acts. Recent years have seen lineup changes, but the band continues to tour, keeping the flame of deathpunk burning bright and reminding everyone that "Rock'n'Roll Is Dead" - long live Turbonegro!
