So good I bought it twice

If you’ve spent 8 minutes or more in my company over the last 12 months, then you’ll no doubt have already heard me espouse the virtues of Bristol electro-rawkers, Turbowolf. After stumbling across them entirely by accident at Stag & Dagger 2008, checking them out for their name as much as anything else, I’ve become a convert.

Their latest single, ‘Read and Write’, came out last week, and it is 100% badass. My copy of the limited edition 7″ vinyl arrived today. I say “copy” I really mean “copies”, but that’s neither here nor there – this band is so good I’m buying extra copies of their releases to give to people to convert them.

Normally if there’s a band I want someone to pay attention to, I’ll fire them off a link to their MySpace page, or chuck them a cheeky mp3. But how often do you ignore recommendations like that? I’ve got a stack of them saved up for when I’m bored/hungover/hungry. Click click click, ho hum. But if someone gave me a frickin’ 7″ record, well, I’d make for damn sure I gave it a spin.

Not sure who’s getting the spare yet. To be honest, if you’re the kind of person who reads this blog, then you’re probably the kind of person who should be buying it yourself instead of expecting me to gift you this freebie. Get thee over to HMV.com, cheapskate, and order a copy.
