Turbo Ignites the Scene with 'Listen… Shut Up!' - A Nitro-Rock Explosion!

Revving their engines with unrelenting energy, Halifax’s own Turbo is set to unleash their third full-length album, Listen… Shut Up!, on October 23. This self-proclaimed Nitro-Rock juggernaut is hell-bent on leaving a trail of scorched earth in the heavy music underground, and it’s clear that they’re not easing off the throttle any time soon.

In the lead-up to the album drop, Turbo has released a blistering single titled "Formula One," a speed metal anthem that encapsulates the raw, frenetic spirit of their latest endeavor. Following the hard-hitting success of Fast As Fvck (2020) and Broke And Ugly (2024), this new record solidifies Turbo’s reputation for explosive songwriting and live performances that are nothing short of sonic warfare.

“We like our music hard, fast, and raw,” declares lead vocalist and guitarist Evan Frizzle. “We want to deliver that gut-punch, rollercoaster thrill that we crave.” And listen closely, because "Formula One" is an adrenaline-fueled ride that showcases Turbo's signature style: blazing riffs and infectious hooks that refuse to let go.

Frizzle elaborates on the track’s composition, noting, “It’s another speedy locomotive of a track with great guitar work and a bunch of ear hooks.” Lyrical themes pull from Frizzle’s own tumultuous past, weaving a narrative of real-life struggles and unapologetic honesty—an ethos that Turbo has embraced since their inception.

With Listen… Shut Up!, Turbo ventures beyond the reckless abandon of their earlier works, diving into the aftermath of a life lived at full throttle. The album boasts eight tracks that capture the essence of Nitro-Rock—from the adrenaline-drenched "Kamikaze" to the introspective "Don’t Know Me" and the darker undertones of "Deathwish Labyrinth." Each song serves as a testament to their evolution, balancing raw aggression with brutally honest storytelling.

“Our first album felt like living in squalor, while the second was all about invincibility,” Frizzle reflects. “This one is the hangover from all that. It’s still hard and fast, but it feels more mature and refined.” With influences ranging from Motörhead to Pantera, Turbo’s sound is a heady concoction of speed metal, sleaze rock, and punk that leaves a lasting impression.

As they prepare to take their raucous live show across Europe on the “Canadian Invasion Tour” alongside Monteith, expect Turbo to deliver a visceral experience that balances rock-and-roll spectacle with genuine authenticity. They embody the spirit of rebellion and chaos—wasted, twisted, and unapologetically greasy. Mark your calendars; Listen… Shut Up! will be available on all digital platforms on October 23, and you won’t want to miss this ride.
