Turbowolf

The Free Life

Bristol hard rockers Turbowolf have had more killer rock bands kip on their sitting room floor than they’ve had hot dinners. And this their third album features guest spots from Idles, Vodun, DFA1979 and Royal Blood’s Mike Kerr, which all goes to cement their position as influential in-laws to the new wave of British rock.

Thefreelife is a trippy, saw-toothed take on space punk that still levitates across the deep chasm between Hawkwind, MGMT and Lightning Bolt, but compared to their slicker second record Twohands, released in 2015, this is noticeably rawer, more ambitious – anarchic, even – and more exciting for it. Rest assured, The ’Wolf remain hungry.
