Halifax, Canada’s own Turbo is back, folks, and they’re louder than a thunderstorm in a tin shed! Their sparkling second album, “Broke & Ugly,” just dropped, and let me tell ya, it's a raw, in-your-face collection that'll leave you begging for an encore. Imagine your disheveled uncle at Christmas, trashed, pissed off, and sick of everyone's crap—that's Turbo in a nutshell. They’ve unleashed an intensity that’s downright unmatched in today’s music scene.
Turbo themselves chimed in on this fiery release:
“‘Broke and Ugly’ is our second testament to the ups and downs of the rock-and-roll lifestyle, and it comes in swingin’ HARD. The music is raw, greasy, and mean; but it’s also tight, coordinated, and flashy. The lyrics are defiant and visceral, painting a real picture of where Evan’s mind was during the writing process of the album. Themes go from party anthems to drugs, to women of flings-past, to life on the road, and back again. It’s edgy, it’s real, and it’s undeniably Turbo.”
Turbo was born with a single vision: to create something bigger, badder, and unapologetically aggressive. Evan Frizzle (vocals/guitar), Sylvain Coderre (drums), Lindsey Dicks (guitar), and Henry MacDonald (bass) poured their hearts and souls into this album. The result? A sound that blends thrash, NWOBHM, glam metal, punk rock, and hardcore into one hell of a listening experience. It's like getting grabbed by the cojones and not being let go.
The album artwork for “Broke & Ugly” is a piece of gritty genius, thanks to Tim Murray, a good friend of the band. Picture a dive-bar nightmare bathroom, stuffed with Easter eggs from Turbo’s past songs. There's a green hand grabbing for some toilet paper from a busted urinal. Yeah, it’s as grimy as it sounds and totally fitting for an album that’s sleazier and louder than anything you’ve heard before.
