January 9, 2013 – Los Angeles, CA – London based rockers, Turbogeist, will release their brand new 5-track EP, ‘Ancient Secrets’, on March 12th in the U.S. via Spinefarm Records.

Listen to the new single “Mermaid’s Revenge” now athttp://soundcloud.com/turbogeistmusic/mermaids-revenge

Says guitarist / vocalist, Jimmy: “Ancient Secrets pertains to our obsession with all things fantastical and cryptic. It’s an abstract title, but these are abstract times. We didn’t wanna make an oi oi punk angst record, although that’s how we started out. We wanted to make something more tongue-in-cheek, more weird. We were always turned on by a splatter gun of influences. We didn’t want to make a punk or hardcore or glam or thrash record; we didn’t wanna make anything that felt sonically linear. If the EP were a drug it would probably be acid, as it could go in a few directions. It could be scary, but it could also make you laugh or cry, or make you realize that nothing is real and we are all just a collection of atoms moving very fast to no discernible end.”

Guitarist / vocalist Luis adds: “Being a youth in the 90’s with Brit pop, Grunge, Hip hop and great rock bands emerging on the radio and music television, we were spoiled for choice. Nowadays,everything seems too polished. However, if you look beyond the void of Mercury Awards and Coldplay b-sides, there are great underground scenes/bands emerging.”

Turbogeist will be guesting with Pure Love  the Alternative Rock band formed by former Gallows frontman Frank Carter and ex-Hope Conspiracy & Suicide File guitarist Jim Carroll – on their 14-date UK tour, commencing early February 2013.
