LONDON-BASED rockers, Turbogeist, will release their brand new 5-track EP, \u2018Ancient Secrets\u2019, on March 11th 2013 via Spinefarm Records.<\/p>\n
Says guitarist \/ vocalist, Jimmy\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cAncient Secrets pertains to our obsession with all things fantastical and cryptic. It’s an abstract title, but these are abstract times. We didn’t wanna make an oi oi punk angst record, although that\u2019s how we started out. We wanted to make something more tongue-in-cheek, more weird. We were always turned on by a splatter gun of influences. We didn\u2019t want to make a punk or hardcore or glam or thrash record; we didn’t wanna make anything that felt sonically linear. If the EP were a drug it would probably be acid, as it could go in a few directions. It could be scary, but it could also make you laugh or cry, or make you realise that nothing is real and we are all just a collection of atoms moving very fast to no discernible end.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guitarist \/ vocalist Luis adds…<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a youth in the 90’s with Brit pop, Grunge, Hip hop and great rock bands emerging on the radio and music television, we were spoiled for choice. Nowadays,everything seems too polished. However, if you look beyond the void of Mercury Awards and Coldplay b-sides, there are great underground scenes\/bands emerging.\u201d <\/p>\n
Turbogeist will be guesting with Pure Love \u2013 the Alternative Rock band formed by former Gallows frontman Frank Carter and ex-Hope Conspiracy & Suicide File guitarist Jim Carroll \u2013 on their 14-date UK tour, commencing early February 2013.<\/p>\n
