Artist: Turbowolf

It turned up on various music television last week, but today Turbowolf's rather fine video to 'Let's Die' finally appeared online for those of us too cheap to buy cable or satellite TV to enjoy. And - somewhat unsurprisingly - we think it's pretty damn good. Given that 'Let's Die' is the apocalyptically-minded closing track to Turbowolf's self-titled debut album , the video features all manner of dark machine-future tomfoolery, all through the 'wolf boys' entertainingly wonky retro-electro collective mind's eye. It's kind [...]

How's about this for a bit of a pre-Christmas treat. The chaps over at Noisey dropped us an email the other day alerting us to a couple of videos they shot with one of our favourite bands, Turbowolf, when the band hit London last month as part of their album launch tour. Given that we collectively ranked Turbowolf's self-titled debut album as the 11th Best Album of 2011 , it's a good time to look back at some of the reasons why we've talked up this band for so [...]

No matter what the city does, Bristol will always have the 'dance music' label draped over it's fine shoulders. However, while there is still a very vibrant scene in place here, there are other great things happening away from the genre. Firmly flying the rock flag for the city is Turbowolf . The band have been a main-stay on the local circuit for a long time now, however when they signed with the mighty fine Hassle records it seemed it was finally their time to break out of the local scene and conquer new pastures. Which they [...]

When we wrote the intro to our Deputy Editor's Top 10 Records last year, we joked that he's a surly so-and-so who doesn't like anything and enjoys nothing. This isn't true. This year, for example, he took a worrying amount of pleasure from the torrent of abuse levelled at him by fans of Five Finger [...]

The votes are in, the arguments have been settled, and the fights concluded without too much bloodshed - The Thrash Hits Top 20 Albums of 2011 list is here. We polled all of our writers, photographers, and contributors as to what their favourite records of the year have been, and through a series of complex [...]

Turbowolf Turbowolf Hassle Records 11 November 2011 by Hugh Platt This album has been a long, long, long time coming. Having been evangelising Turbowolf since before Thrash Hits even existed, and it's only now, nearly four years down the line, that a full-length has emerged from the Bristol-based band. In that time, the 'wolf have [...]

Artrocker Magazine and Jägermeister have set up a little web series called Icebreaker, where they get bands to interview their heroes and inspirations. It just so happens that the latest episode has Turbowolf (Heard of them? We've mentioned them once or twice) trekking over to the Isle of Wight to chat to Britain's most well-known conspiracy [...]

Metal meets mysticism in the second episode of the Artrocker Magazine and Jägermeister Icebreaker series , in which rising UK rockers Turbowolf get to break the ice with a hero from outside of their normal world, renowned conspiracy theorist David Icke . This feature sees Turbowolf, who are on the ever exciting Jägermeister music roster, heading to David Icke's home on the Isle of Wight to discuss everything from government conspiracies and media coverups to secret alien societies with the controversial public speaker. David Icke also gives an insight into the social [...]

The best things are worth waiting for though, eh? We sent Paul Caudell to Sonisphere a little over a month ago, and here's his review. Photos by Ben Gibson ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/h ideoutbenphotography/ ). Sonisphere was back for it's 3rd year and we couldn't have be more excited. It was bigger, it was louder and it was thrashier than before. We set off from London to Knebworth House with the Muso's Guide 'Palace of Dreams' in hand and a whole lot of jagermeister to embark on a metal encrusted rock'n'roll weekend, we did it just for you, [...]

....or at least recognises the value of it for selling glucose-charged fizzy pop to people. The James Cleaver Quintet are the stars (can you be "stars" in an advert?) of the latest TV spot from Lucozade. Unfortunately, rather than having The JCQ play one of the tracks off their scorching debut mini-album/EP thing, Ten Stages Of A [...]

Our old favourites, Turbowolf, have released a brand spanking new video this morning, this time for their song 'A Rose For The Crows'. It's all very smoky and 1970s-looking, featuring black-cloaked warlock figures, lurking menacingly over the 'wolf's equipment as the video glitches all over the place. It's very, very cool, and you can check it [...]

What started as a fairly civil chinwag with Joe and Blake from Turbowolf backstage at Sonisphere 2011 soon degenerated into chaos when their bandmates Chris and Andy gatecrashed the interview. Chaos makes us feel all warm and fuzzy. We can't wait until 11 November when the album finally drops. Check out the rest of our [...]

We've very pleased that we can finally announce that our good friends Turbowolf have signed to Hassle Records, the UK home of such bands as Cancer Bats, Alkaline Trio, and Trash Talk. They've also settled upon the wondrously-apocalyptic d ate of 11/11/11 as a provisional release date of their long, long, long awaited debut album. But wait, there's more! [...]

Turbowolf Title TBA Label TBA ETA Spring 2011 What they're saying: We thought we'd got the measure of the Turbowolf album, until two days ago when the band posted the following update on their official Facebook page: "In the studio next week to lay down 2 BRAND NEW TOTALLY UNHEARD BANGERS! Then the album is [...]

It happened. The first ever Thrash Hits presents… went off with a massive, sweaty bang in east London's Old Blue Last. If you weren't there, you not only missed out on one of the best gigs of 2011 but you didn't get hit in the face with a camera in the moshpit like we did. [...]

With the first ever Thrash Hits Presents…. gig mere hours away from smashing seven shades out of East London, we figured it would be a nice touch to let all you lucky, lucky ticket holders know what times you need to come down to the Old Blue Last in order to catch all four of [...]
