'Jung Turks are something special; they combine their superb musicianship on both the drums and guitar with an eclectic mix of genres to create intricate and highly original music...this is some of the best instrumental rock music out there.' irishrockers.com

'Jung Turks approach is unlike any other...a strange and wonderful beast' - Kernan Andrews, Arts Editor, Galway Advertiser

'With just classical guitar and drums for comfort, Jung Turks sound like the offspring of the White Stripes and Rodrigo y Gabriela; lost musical children who were reared in a South American gypsy camp by former Faith No More guitarist Jim Martin and Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo, before being sent to boot camp with Frank Zappa, who in turn sent them to the bog where they dug turf and fusion music.' - Ronan Casey, Westmeath Examiner

'Really, really crazy and innovative...amazing band' - Ed Larrikin, Larrikin Love
