“We’re Turbowolf; we drive around in a
red f*****g van, like Postman Pat, delivering riffs to every city”
So, before the band end their touring
cycle and head back in to the studio to get working on the next album, Est.1987
headed down to The Cockpit in Leeds to check out what the four-piece had to
offer.

Flamboyant,
theatrical, psychedelic; what more could you want? From start to finish the
unrelenting pace is electrifying as Turbowolf confidently blitz through album
track “Seven Severed Heads” and the Lightning Bolt cover of “Captain Caveman”. Before
heading back into the studio to work on a new release the band also debut a
brand new track “12 Houses”. The new track fits effortlessly into the set and lead
singer Chris Georgiadis comfortably surfs into the crowd. “This [song] is a
dance floor f*****g mover. Are you ready for this? Grab a partner Leeds , it’s gonna happen” commands Chris as Turbowolf deliver
the onslaught of “Read + Write” before blasting through the heavier and thrash
filled “Things Could Be Good Again”.

The
energy and intensity is high from both onstage and from the filled room at The
Cockpit. Harriet Bevan from support band Black Moth, even joins in on the
impressive cover of Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody To Love”. It can never be
said that Turbowolf aren’t dynamic; their set offers songs that are haunting,
terrifying and thrilling and hark back to a past era of trippy and psychedelic
rock.
“You
know what time it is…it’s time to die mother f*****s” announces the vivacious
front-man before launching into “Let’s Die” the final song this evening. The
synth-based intro makes way for heavy percussive verses and a huge chorus that
summons one last almighty sing a long from the enthusiastic crowd. We wait in
excitement for the new material and on the next tour.
