Turbonegro
Turbonegro, conceived in the mid-’90s, comes at you from Oslo, Norway. They are hardcore, trashy, and have a disturbing sense of humor. Their image plays of the sexual ambiguity of the glam-rock era, tempered by the hardcore elements of punk-rock and the edgier aspects of bands like Alice Cooper, Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, and Judas Priest. They are promoting their new album Retox. And they will rock your face.
