TURISMO

And now for something completely different..

About Me



"Turismo are a six-piece indie-rock band with a difference. Their sound is big and frenetic, being compared to a sound which is "like mixing early Blur with a skanking offbeat", and with a large slice of humour thrown in for good measure! But do not be fooled, because with a lineup including Trombones and Trumpets, those boys can just as easily throw some ska at you and youll have your knees touching your shoulders in no time at all!"
Turismo have been busy recording their album(s), 'Too Tall For Fashion' and 'Too Small For Passion'. The albums are now being finished and released through independant record stores, aswell as being able to purchase online.

For more information on the lads (and lass) and where they're heading to next, aswell as listening to tracks taken from both 'Too Tall For Fashion' and 'Too Small For Passion', check them out at www.myspace.com/turismouk
Enjoy!...
