The polar express soundtrack 2005 bootleg

The Turbojugend sub-culture includes all paraphernalia associated with devoted fan-bases: bootleg swapping, fanatic fan-sites, uniform clothing, and total admiration.

All over the world, fan bases gathered in so-called Turbojugens вЂ“ mimicking the bandвЂ™s homo-erotic, denim-clad appearance. A unique phenomenon can be found among those counting themselves as loyal Turbonegro fans. TurbonegroвЂ™s fan base has grown rapidly since they disbanded in 1998, as proven by the immense and ecstatic crowds at their appearances last summer (imagine 44.000 people singing along to 'I Got Erection' at the Bizarre Festival). Hank von Helvete retreated to the Lofoten Islands in the North of Norway to deal with his drug habit while the other band members focussed on other bands and separate careers. TurbonegroвЂ™s successful 1998 tour ended at a psychiatric ward in Milan, thus sending the band on a four-year hiatus. Unfortunately, TurbonegroвЂ™s journey toward international breakthrough was ground to a halt then front-man Hank von Helvete fell under the spell of the needle. This string of releases was topped by the now ultra-classic 1998 album Apocalypse Dudes. The denim demons released the first in a string of hailed albums in 1991 вЂ“ the aptly titled Hot Cars and Spent Contraceptives. This admiration resulted in a tribute album - 'Alpha Motherfuckers' (Bitzcore records, 2001) - with tracks from the likes of The Supersuckers, QOTSA, Satyricon, Therapy?, The Residents drummer Toby Dammit and Teutonic bubblegum dance queen BlГјmchen (re-christening herself Denim Girl for the occasion).

The denim clad thugs have been keenly championed by the likes of Poison Idea, Rocket From The Crypt, Dave Grohl, Dr Eugene Chadbourne, Jello Biafra (who claimed that 'Apocalypse Dudes is possibly the most important European record ever'), The Beastie Boys, the crew behind Jack Ass, Metallica, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Beck's mother Bibbe Hansen, The Hives, Steve Albini and Queens of the Stone Age. Turbonegro have over the years recorded for labels like Man's Ruin, Sympathy For The Record Industry and Amphetamine Reptile Europe. Next week will see the release of Scandinavian Leather - the successor to TurbonegroвЂ™s near mythical Apocalypse Dudes. Turbonegro - one of the most legendary Scandinavian bands ever to set foot on a stage is about to return with a new album.
