Artists: Turbonegro

Leathered and denimed Norwegian sextet Turbonegro are to release their new album, Retox, on July 9 via Cooking Vinyl. A single, 'Do You Dig Destruction', is released a week earlier.

Says the PR:

Retox, finally, blows away such nonsensical logic. It’s hard, heavy, hilarious, terrifying, offensive, dumb-ass, thought-provoking and plain genocidal all at once. It IS rock. Total rock. Total Turbo. A record which, to borrow a lyric from its riotous lead single, ‘Do You Do You Dig Destruction’, will hit you like “brass-knuckles and a 2-by-4”.

Superb LOLZ all round, there. The album comes with production from John Agnello, responsible for The Hold Steady's breakthrough Boys And Girls In America LP of earlier this year. Turbonegro play a couple of UK dates next month:

June
7 London Islington Academy
8 Donington Download Festival

Check the band out on MySpace here, and watch the video to 'You Do You Dig Destruction' here.

'All My Friends Are Dead' - tune.


TurboNEWgro

any more lame headlines like that and DiS will be known as the Daily Star of indie - sort it out!


Genius

I've heard the album, it is....a Turbonegro album. Nothing more needs to be said. The final track - 'What is Rock?'- is hilarious, I hope to god they play it at Download in a couple of weeks


you just know how this is going to sound

in terms of tunes though how does it measure up to its predecessors?
