Some Kind Of Voodoo
It wouldn’t take too long browsing on our site to see that we’re big Turbowolf fans here at Room Thirteen, so when Two Hands finally arrived in our inbox there were definitely two hands in the year in celebration. When a certain level of composure had been reached we got stuck in, and what became clear almost instantly is that this is undeniably a great record. They’ve sat on these tracks for quite a while now, and if you’ve been to one of their live shows in recent times you may well already be familiar with a fair few on the album already - some have even become huge crowd favourites already (Solid Gold). The band effectively follow the same formula as the previous record - it’s not overly long, it’s packed FULL of catchy tunes and encourages repeat listens. Their brand of eccentricity is infectious.
The album opens with the excellent Invisible Hand which slowly builds before absolutely exploding into a stream of chaos. Chris Georgiadis will certainly grab your attention instantly, and whilst you’re unable to see him darting about as you would live, you can’t help but be taken in by the mass of energy. A mass of energy though which is generally borne out of the simple yet brilliant riffs which will circle around your brain for days after listening through the whole album. This all comes from the magic touch of Andy Ghosh who undoubtedly appears to be the creative driving force in the band. The triple hitting Rabbits Foot, Solid Gold and American Mirrors will leave you almost breathless before a welcome, yet erratic, interlude breaks everything up. The punk injected level of chaos is almost unrelenting - generally making the whole thing feel like the complete package.
Overall then with this record Turbowolf haven’t just written an extension of the debut album, instead they’ve grabbed the initiative and absolutely run with it. They are a force to be reckoned with live, and that can never be replicated on record, but it’s not far off. What you’ve got with Two Hands is a genuinely exciting Rock record packed full of catchy riffs and real Punk energy flowing through its veins" a simple yet perfectly delivered formula which could be set to kick Turbowolf into a new realm of popularity.
