Notes:
PRESS RELEASE TRBNGR "TURBOLOID" 12"

Well-well well-well well.
So it is finally here.
TRBNGRS's Debut 12"

5 songs about sex and revenge, subjects that are not exactly the usual part of your everyday life, but which you probably need to be reminded of.

Do you remember how it actually felt when your cock slided into the ass of the guy you met at the Chris Erichsen concert at Renegat, that time you feverishly tried to follow ridiculous english trends, "lifestyle packages" you did not dare not to follow? Do you remember the taste of 12 hour old cunt juice after you woke up with 37 year old dialect rabbling closet lesbian psychology studying divorced mother of two? Was it after the X-Mal Deutschland concert at Ratz, or did just get lost and ended up at Club7? Or do you remember that time a couple of years later at Sardines when you tried to talk your way into the pants of a 17 year old girl by bragging with your "business contacts", that old worn out rock credibility of yours, and not-to-forget your narrow knowledge of music, just to get harshly rejected?

Not?
Could it be black out, or is it simply that you do not want to remember?

Do you feel like choking when you think back?

You do not not have to give this record a good review.
You don't actually have to mention it at all.

Hot Cars and Spent Contraceptives

Record Label: Big Ball Records (Norway)
Release Date: 1992

Catalog Number: BBR-004
Press Details: 1000 copies.

Notes:

The debut full length on Big Ball Records (David / Punk Babe of The Anal Babes / Astroburger's label.), Norway 1992. A version (with some extra tracks) of this was released early 1993 by Repulsion Records, titled Helta Skelta with a painted portrait of Sirhan Sirhan on the cover (but several ignorants have mistaken it for Manson!) and a 20+ minute audio-play about a young man being raped by a policeman called 'A Career In Indie Rock'. 1500 copies were made of this one, but the stupid kraut junkie / paisley shirt owner (Marc Richter) didn't pay us.

Notes:

Features the very disturbing 'A Career In Indie Rock'.

"The whole of this was in it's entirety lifted from one of Happy Tom's numerous porn videos. Tom has always been a real conneiseur of porn; in fact he even gets Christmas cards from different mail-order companies. I can't recall the title, but the piano was played by a well-known radio-reporter from the state broadcasting company and singer of lesser-known "Country Faggots". The name says it all."

Format: 10" Vinyl
Catalog Number: SFTRI 254
Press Details:

Repress (This repress has been frowned upon by many in and around the turbo circle. Mostly because the label repressing it did so without going through the proper channels for authorization.)


Notes:
The differences between the original and this repressing are:

Cover art is cropped.
Typeface of 'Stierkampf' on the back is a lighter shade of red.
Text on the spine is bolder.
The sticker on the front was blue text on white while the reissue has black text on white.

Steirkampf (Turbonegro)
(He's A) Grunge Whore
10" EP OUT NOW

Out of print since the month it was released in 1993. This is the only record of this line-up of Turbonegro with this short-lived name change.Ê Due to a new singer decisions were made to rename to STIERKAMPF ( the German word for 'bull-fight' ) - a change that apparently caused slight trouble for the band being suspected of 'crypto-nazism'. Offerings for gigs were refused, nevertheless they played a few shows as support for Poison Idea in Oslo ( Hanky's stage debut in april '93 too ! ), on the 1st of May in Copenhagen, Denmark & as support for The Ramones in August '93 at the Oslo Rock festival. It's title, "Grunge Whore" is meant as some kind of reckoning with Kurt Cobain of Nirvana including precise predictions on his rockstar suicide which actually was to follow one year later! In fact Turbonegro had once confronted the Nirvana singer at the Oslo Kalvøya Festival in 1992 that was headlined by his band. Turbonegro were performing at the aftershow party and it is reported that Kurt escaped the party desperately holding his hands clamped to his ears after giving Turbonegro a listen for a couple of songs.

In an interview for a greek fanzine Turbonegro advised the readers not to participate in the then current Seattle grunge boom: "Remember that out of e-v-e-r-y Nirvana or Alice In Chains record sold, one dollar of gold goes to the CIA's weapon's operations!" Stierkampf played hard and angry and were flinging leprosy-messages to the East and West : Sample lyric:Ê 'Big wheels keep on turning / Napalm keeps on burning / Paying for the CIA guns / With his distorted guitars and his pounding drums.' Member pseudonyms for this recording are Herr Tugen, Bongo, Bingo, L. Ron Bud and Brune.

The Black Flag cover, "Six Pack" features Eugene Chadbourne on twin banjo and former singer Harald Fossberg on vocals. Currently poised to take over the airwaves of the free and not-so-free world this is Turbonegro way back when.

Dog Job Records, Oslo (Apclps 2001), 1994.



Notes:

For the first time ever the classic NIF is released on vinyl!

This is quite a departure from the omni-present destructive rush of "Hot Cars", but rather a bitter and desperate ride through the alienated landscapes of suburban darkness!!

"A tribute to Blue Oyster Cult" - as claimed by themselves!!

The Bitzcore re-issue comes with new sleeve artwork designed by Dimitri 'from Oslo' Kayiambakis showing German TV detective superintendant 'Derrick' Horst Tappert holding a gun to his head !!

Furthermore the LP insert / CD traycard depicts a photo montage of Pål imitating H.M. Schleyer (president of the German employers association) as abducted by the R.A.F. terrorists in 1977. According to Happy Tom this "was a special greeting from the other members of the band, regarding Pål's newly found role as owner and operator of Pamparius Pizza".

Catalog Number: bitzcore bc 1714-2 (CD)
Press Details: CD reissue edition contains three hidden tracks! (see details below)

Notes:

"Never Is Forever" is one of the true lost classics. Originally released by the band and a friend in Oslo in early 1994 in 1.000 copies on CD only, at a time when nobody would even touch it due to the fact that it was so wrong trend wise. When the rest of the punk oriented world tried hard to be lo-fi and "real", Turbonegro as usual went the opposite way, creating a miniature suburban deathpunk opera. Seldom have pop culture, darkness and desperation blended so well, this is a truly brilliant record from the band we have all come to fear and love. The re-release comes with new Derrick-style artwork and remastered sound.

*The music that accompanied this track was ultimately dropped out on the final mix making it a great acapella by bassist Bengt 'Bingo' Calmeyer. The song is a rip off version of the original by Ebba Gron (Swedish punk band from early 80's).

**Evel Knievel reveals his tender side with a dramatic reading of his poem "Why?" Written in response to his most commonly-asked question, Evel (backed by piano and strings) explains, "Just like you, I've gotta be me." From the 'Evel Knievel' LP (Amherst, 1974). - stevemandich.com

Now 10 years later we're treated to this sexy shot of a younger gang of greasy-haired homos with a stash-less Hanky front and center baring manly chest. Ironically this was the same photo used in several 'Ass Cobra' promotional ads back in 1996.

"This I made together with Happy Tom and Euroboy, while listening to the demo and some good old TOTO. Rune Rebellion and Pamparius also popped in to check on us. We had a great time. I remember Euroboy asked me to make a line under the title on the cover.

I did and told him: this looks like a Dire Straits cover! (Check out Making Movies).

He said: well, that's settled then, we do it like that!

For those of you who don't know: The snake on the cover is the symbol of terror-group Symbionese Liberation Army. We just added one head to match number of members in the band."

Notes:
Turbonegro are a six piece denim rock outfit from the darkness on the edge of Oslo, Norway. These suburbs have the highest teen suicide & fatality rates in the world and Turbonegro are, according to the punkorientated publication Maximum Rock'n'Roll: "a full blown rock'n'roll circus like you've never seen before!". Why denim? "We feel that denim out-rocks leather at all levels. Leather is for empty, little people. Denim is for us big guys! And the kids LOVE it!" Happy Tom, bass. On April 6, 1998 Turbonegros masterpiece "Apocalypse Dudes" hit the shelves. "Apocalypse Dudes" forever changed the way people think a classic rock'n'roll album should sound like: while most longplayers contain 2 good songs and fillers "Apocalypse Dudes" is ALL HITS, no fillers, just killers. This my friends is a virtually perfect record! Excellent production - a huge, FAT sound; lots of power and excellent songs that you can't get out of your head. Not one let down through 47 minutes of music!! This is not an underground tip!! "Apocalypse Dudes" appeals to the masses. From punk to metal to mainstream, "Apocalypse Dudes" has something for everyone.

Love It To Deathpunk: Best Of...

Record Label: Tilt Records (Australia)
Release Date: July, 2001
Format: Compact Disc
Catalog Number: TTCD 004
Press Details: 2000 copies.

Notes:

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF TURBONEGRO !!

"Love It To Deathpunk" is a really well-done "best-of" compilation that was released in Australia and features 17 songs selected from Turbonegro's four studio albums and the "Darkness Forever" live record, a journey through the band's back-catalogue so to speak.

Considering that it contains song material that was recorded between 1991 and 1998 this compilation sounds amazingly even, and of course all the hits are present here. The booklet is spiced with some full color photos such as the rad shot of Chris Summers lighting his cigarette at Hanky's sparkling ass-rocket.
