Turbonegro - Apocalypse Dudes (1998)

My favorite rock n' roll band's classic masterpiece! This album changed my life!

"Apocalypse Dudes presents Turbonegro's trademark deathpunk sound in a mighty rockin' fashion, "a new resurgence of glam rock'n'roll" as the Boomba announcement put it - much due to exceptional guitarist Euroboy, who was playing with the band live since 1996.

Moshable magazine commented: "Apocalypse Dudes is the perfect mix of classic 70's US punk / rock'n'roll like The Dictators, The Heartbreakers & The Ramones... every tune on this release is fucking brilliant". Even Jello Biafra was quoted as saying, "the new Turbonegro record is possibly the most important European record ever.""

Turbonegro - Ass Cobra (1996)

These guys saved rock n' roll all on their own. Props on the parody of The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" album cover.
"Ass Cobra featured a move towards mid-70's punk & glam territory - in the spirit of proto punk pioneers á la The Dictators, The Ramones or late Iggy & The Stooges - plus a bit of New York Dolls' travesty thrown in. Ass Cobra paves the way harshly, with a sinister wash of cymbals, loud guitars and articulate riffs — think Poison Idea meets Alice Cooper. It is here, also, where Turbonegro developed their signature look: sailor caps, denim from head to toe, mustaches all around, and decidedly butch homoerotic accoutrements."
