Well, lightning does strike twice, because May 2016 saw ANOTHER new single! Just in time for final exams, TURBONEGRO unleashed Special Education to the unsuspecting public. A story of a teenage boy’s fall from academic grace and the cruel and unusual discipline he finds at the very bottom, the song was inspired by repeated watchings of Scum and The Story Of O on the tour bus VHS player; «They were the only tapes we had!» Guitarist Rune Rebellion confesses.
Bass player and cultural commenter Happy-Tom could not contain his excitement: «A golfer from Phoenix once claimed that school is «out». Norway José, au contraire say we: school is «in»! This saucy tale of sizzling hot sexual abuse will MAKE GOING TO SCHOOL GREAT AGAIN.»
And so finally, in the wake of the infamous blizzards of the Scandinavian Winter of 2017, the savvy six gathered in the studio in Oslo to embark on the venture that is now about to be revealed to the world as the ROCKNROLL MACHINE, their ninth studio album to date.
First new song shared was the title track «RockNRoll Machine» – a song perfectly hitting the fine line between clever and stupid, without ever turning lukewarm. Everyone has been intrigued and frightened by all the talk about A.I. and robotification of society lately, this one is about bringing that tech-talk into boogie rock territory and stop thinking so much about tomorrow. The Rock and Roll Machine has all the traits you’ll find an in a classic rocker: he keeps going all night, tell Tchaikovsky the news, but is still quite cheap and affordable, and, unfortunately, a bit unpredictable (according to some reviewers), quickly becoming passé.
Vocalist Tony Sylvester AKA The Duke Of Nothing had this to say about the new material: ”We’ve spent the past years honing our skills. The music we are releasing now is more distilled, more refined, more pointed, more powerful; we travelled to the future and this is what we heard on the radio!”
Turbonegro´s ninth studio album ”ROCKNROLL MACHINE” was let loose on the World February 2nd, 2018 almost to the day 20 years after the release of their now classic ”Apocalypse Dudes” album, and will be followed by Euro and US club tours, and a bunch of festival performances throughout 2018.
Today's tune "Hurry Up & Die" is the second single from the latest release "RockNRoll Machine", today's clip is live at Lindmo, NRK April 7. 2018, enjoy!
