Coming soon: The TurboBandit Forum - a place where all you fans can kick back and discuss band related (or totally unrelated) stuff under one roof!

In other news, the band have recently completed filming of their second music video to coincide with the release of the album - can you guess which song it is?

A new website, at last! As you may notice some things aren't quite working just yet, but bear with us - things'll be up and running 100% in no time. - Vanya Stanisavljevich

Feels like the time is ripe for a newspost eh? Well here's what's happening. In the last couple of months everything that had been piling up during the last 6 years was finally set into motion in one fell swoop.

Basically, the band recorded a music video to the song Obsession off the upcoming album together with photographer/director extraordinaire Mårten Keijser (check out the pictures section for stills from the video!). This event proved to be the catalyst which would finally drive the project closer to completion. Shortly after wrapping up the aforementioned, Roman and Daniel began the mastering sessions which are pretty much complete save for the fact that the final sessions had to be postponed due to a case of swine flu. Yuck!

Parallel to this Vanya has been busy developing a kick-ass new website ensuring other stuff is being simultaneously so as to hasten the whole process. In the meantime however, the band refer fans to the official MySpace page, where they've just started a blog. The address you ask?

OLD NEWS
2005-02-03 Roman Karpovich started this project which, from the beginning, was Micke Ingelins idea. Neither of them could foresee the ferocity of the final product. The Russian language is aggressive, so why not??? Roman and his Russian suit each other and maybe Roman is simply a Mad Russian himself?

We are now done with the songwriting for our debut album which will contain 13 strong, reliable songs. We´ll start recording when the band is 100% tight and perfect!

2006-06-01
The recording sessions have started! Roman is working day and night in the studio...

2006-11-01
Roman Karpovich & producer Daniel Papalexis started the auto-tuning company TurboBandit, forcing them to take time out from the studio in order to get the aforementioned project off the ground and to finally complete work on Romans car, with the latter to be used as a 600 horsepower mobile billboard on steroids

Like most things in life, nothing ever turns out as planned, and the ambitious projects mentioned above were certainly no exception! Despite the seemingly never ending delays, everything paid off in the end, the results of the hard work a fully functioning company, a Dyno-killing Car with a record breaking 650Hp/780Nm and Roman finally back on track with the his musical endeavour: Burlak

2007-11-26
With 6 songs left to go and the debut album inching its way toward completion, the unthinkable has happened! Roman accidentally forgot to close the balcony door last night and ended up waking up in a concrete igloo with a sore throat! He is currently waiting for his health to improve before tackling the remaining tracks

One track left to record vocals for before the record is complete. What happens? The hard disk crashes, along with most of what’s been done during the past 9 months. What do you do? Yep, you guessed it. You start over.

2008-11-18
Everything instrumental is done – just the vocals left at this point. Only small problem is the heating in the studio – or rather the lack thereof. Temperatures of -5 C see to it that not much can be done in the way of singing. The cheapskate solution? Take a little fan and kettle into the recording room and boil tea continuously!

It’s cold, but you get used to it pretty quickly. You get used to anything after walking barefoot for almost a whole year – much like the time I lived in Dalarna

2008-12-15

Three tracks left! THREE! The new year beckons….

2008-12-25
ALL DONE! Finally, the record is done! Fine tuning and mastering remain!
