TurbonegroTurbonegro is a Norwegian band that tries to combine the best of heavy metal, rock and punk to a homosexual and non-politically-correct version of punk, aiming in principle at the PC crowd (e.g. the cover of the single "Bad Mongo" depicts Adolf Hitler as a mongoloide, or in the song "Hobbit Motherfuckers", they rant about "not enough suffering" and "not enough natural selection"). Their genre of punk has been described as Death punk by some, including the band itself ('Gimme deathpunk baby, and I like it', from the song 'Get it on'). Being a fun project with common predecessors (Sex Pistols wearing swastikas, etc), Turbonegro have been praised by some as playing the most up-to-date form of punk, and refusing to be categorized being nowhere as clearly expressed as in this anarchic blend of humour, shock and sexuality. Throughout the world, there is an increasing number of local Turbonegro fan chapters called Turbojugends. Members can be identified by denim jackets with a Turbonegro logo and "Turbojugend of city" stitched to the back. Turbonegro featured in an episode of MTV's Viva la Bam where Bam got them to play in his shed in the garden and the song "Prince of the Rodeo" is a frequent background song in "Jackass (TV series) "Age of Pamparius" is the theme song for MTV's Wild boyz. Compared to Turbonegro's album sales, their fanclub is vast and so is the number of bands covering them. Oslo punkers "Abnormal" and metal/new wave US teenage college punkband "The Liquor spitslickers" are two examples of bands inspired by Turbonegro. Current Members Discography External links
