Canadian nitro rock hellraisers TURBO have dropped their brand new music video for “PissJugs & Rattlesnakes”, the fifth track from their latest full length album “Broke & Ugly,” released in July 2024.
The new video captures everything that defines Turbo’s sound and spirit: raw energy, sleazy swagger, and a no apologies attitude forged from years of touring, partying, and living life at full throttle.
“PissJugs & Rattlesnakes” is a standout cut from “Broke & Ugly,” written with the title first and the lyrics second, a perfect reflection of Turbo’s instinct driven, riff first songwriting style. Loosely inspired by a crew of strippers vocalist/guitarist Evan Frizzle used to run with, the track is a gritty, tongue in cheek snapshot of wild nights, questionable decisions, and the characters who shaped the band’s early years.
Guitarist Lindsey Dicks penned the opening lead, kicking off what the band calls “the greasiest riff on the album.” The track has quickly become a fan favorite, complete with the band’s unofficial drinking rule: take a swig every time they yell “pissjugs.”
Turbo’s second full length album, “Broke & Ugly,” is a raw, high energy snapshot of the band’s real life chaos, blending aggressive riffs, tight musicianship, and lyrics fueled by partying, heartbreak, road life exhaustion, and unapologetic self reflection. Standout tracks range from the heavy, triumphant “Ruthless Forever” to the beer soaked anthem “Ignite the Night,” the breakup driven “No Savior,” and the punk edged “Scorpio Garbage Fire.” The album slows only briefly with “Nothing to Nowhere” before roaring back with the snarky title track and the thrashy tour inspired closer “Down in Mexico.” It’s gritty, honest, and unmistakably Turbo.
Recommended for fans of Motörhead, Mötley Crüe, Municipal Waste, and Airbourne, “Broke and Ugly”, released on July 12th, 2024, is available at https://turboasfvck.bandcamp.com/
