bio
Often chastised for naming their band after what some consider the worst Judas Priest song in history, Youngstown, Ohio's Turbo Lovers are a three-piece rock 'n' roll party that's equal parts bravado, swagger and fun. Taking cues from AC/DC, KISS, Danko Jones, Social Distortion and a variety of others, the band flys the flag for infectious, hard-driving, original rock ‘n’ roll.
The band gigs often in the Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania area and has shared the stage with Ace Frehley, Loverboy, Sebastian Bach, Warrant, Jackyl, Kix, Slaughter, Stephen Pearcy, Living Colour, Dokken, Supersuckers, Reverend Horton Heat, Puddle Of Mudd, Gin Blossoms, Sponge, Tantric, Angel, Blaze Bayley, Don Jamieson, Kuarantine, That Arena Rock Show and more.
B.J Lisko - vocals/guitar | Keith Dougherty - bass/backing vocals | Christian DeSantis - drums
Press Mentions
Volitile Weekly:
B.J. Lisko interview
“We really don’t do messages. We want to be an escape for people. All the songs are basically about drinking, rocking, bad relationships, bad luck, lamenting the state of rock in the mainstream, or all of the above. “
Sleaze Roxx
“Turbo Lovers unveil new album ‘Lettin’ It Fly!’
“Turbo Lovers is a fist-pumping, foot-to-the-floor, memorable and inspiring rock ‘n’ roll experience recommended for fans of AC/DC, Kiss, and Danko Jones.”
Classic Rock Magazine
“”These never-say-die soldiers are the sole sleazers in their luckless mid-US town, yet they make a genre-hopping trucker metal juggernaut that easily straddles The Supersuckers and Y&T in the same goddamn song.”
