TURBONEGRO: Video Interview Online

July 3, 2007

A video interview with Happy Tom and Hank Helvete from TURBONEGRO has been posted online at Metal Hammer TV. The footage was shot at Download festival, Donington, UK. The interview starts off as a straightforward chat about "festival fashion" (as Hank is wearing a U.S. flag and furry codpiece),but descends into free association covering the use of corpse paint and being a cockney.

TURBONEGRO has just released a new album, entitled "Retox". According to the band, "Retox" is "hard, heavy, hilarious, terrifying, offensive, dumb-ass, thought-provoking and plain genocidal all at once. It IS rock. Total rock. Total Turbo. A record which, to borrow a lyric from its riotous lead single, 'Do You Do You Dig Destruction', will hit you like 'brass-knuckles and a 2-by-4.' It is the sound," they add, "of cold steel slashing through hot leather," a sound which comes in part courtesy of John Agnello, producer of THE HOLD STEADY's "Boys and Girls in America" album, who mixed "Retox" with the band in New York.
