TURKU ROMANTIC MOVEMENT s/t FWF064

For their sophomore effort in English, Turku Romantic Movement endure and survive key line-up changes whilst growing stronger, fiercer and more political from their trials. From the band's website...

"After Noise & Confusion band toured Finland and did a few visits to Slovenia where the album was also released. Then, in the fall 2007 the drummer Kikke left the group. The band found a replacement in ”Texas” Terhi who brought new drive into the music. In the spring 2008 the original bassist Mickan also left the group, and the former live keyboardist Joonas stepped into her shoes and deepend the band's groove into the totally new levels. The band was now Helsinki based, but kept it's original hometown Turku in it's name. The only original members – singer Rami and guitarist Pete – were excited about how things had turned out.

TRM hit back on stages in August 2008 with the new line-up. It was great! They wrote new songs and went to Finnvox studios later in the fall to record them live in order to catch their raw energy in the spirit of the mighty Stooges and anarchist MC5. The self titled album is going to be a new beginning for the band again, and it's due out on May 13, 2009. In Finland that is. Central Europe will follow. The rumour has it that the manager of the record company describes the raw versions of the songs as ”future classics”. We'll see about that…"
