Neues aus dem Turbo-Land

Nachdem Burning Heart Rec. in den vergangenen Wochen bereits angekündigt hatte, ein neues, großes Signing stünde ins Haus, machten die Gerüchte über einen Beitritt von Turbonegro in den Meister-Stall des schwedischen Punk-Labels massenhaft die Runde. Nun ist es offziell bestätigt!

Turbonegro, die gerade am vergangenen Wochenende eine fantastische Show beim Bizarre Festival gespielt haben, unterzeichneten einen Deal mit Burning Heart.

Das offzielle Statement der Plattenfirma:

Burning Heart Records is proud to present the signing of Turbonegro.

Turbonegro, surely the most threatening combo to ever leave the fjords of Norway, the band spent a good ten years wreaking havoc on rock`n`roll, sexual stereotypes, European and American stages, as well as their own bodies and minds, before dissolving in the waiting room of a psychiatric emergency ward in Milan, Italy 1998.

Before the split up, Turbonegro released numerous earth shattering & life-changing records as `Apocalypse Dudes`, `Never Is Forever` and `Ass Cobra` to mention a few. Many consider them the founders of Scandinavian Rock.

The band reformed in the summer of 2002, making unforgettable appearances on the “Res-Erection Tour”, headlining at Festivals in Sweden (Hultsfred), Norway (Quart) and Germany (Bizarre).

After the successful Festival tour, the band has decided to make a new album that will be recorded this fall and be released by Burning Heart Records worldwide in the Spring of 2003.

Peter Ahlqvist, Chef des Labels:

“I am extremely proud to see Turbonegro on the label. I think their album `Apocalypse Dudes` is one of the most important albums released during the 90`s, and their decision to make a new album is excellent news.”

Happy Tom, Bassist von Turbonegro:

“We are very happy to have signed with Burning Heart, and chose them – instead of the shitty multi-national labels that were trying to sign us – due to their general good looks and long-time dedication to the Scandinavian underground.”
