"If every indie band would sound this creative, daring and brilliant, the world would sure be a better place. "
Mario, Goonite Club Promoter @ Buffalo Bar, London
"The hooks are irresistable, and the multilayered melodies won't let you walk away. Turnpike Glow have no small measure of aural charisma." Pop Drivel
"The best thing coming out of Italy since Leonardo Da Vinci"
John Herman - Media Maker, Artist, Writer
"I've only been given couple of their tracks, Monday Suitcase and Warranty, but they're both excellent. They're not quite like anything I've heard before."
Life in Yorkshire
"There is a lot to like about these boys! It’s all very multi-layered and complex, but retains the air of simplicity itself. Keep your eye on Turnpike Glow, undiscovered not for long, I feel!!!"
Rock Sellout
"Turnpike Glow's 'Monday Suitcase' is the sound of the summer."
The Devil has the best tuna
"Multi-layered cunning, effects, chiming guitars and vox breezes that spin off individually to create
pleasant whirpools and this is Dirty Rain and its big label, big band, long track record experienced in its quality and accomplishment" Unpeeled
"It shouldnt be too long before media attention turns on this lot because without doubt this collection of cuts reveals a creative song craft at work..." Losing Today
Turnpike Glow started life in Rome as aspiring young hopefuls in a scene marginalised by Italian pop and insider trading. But with their Beta Band-Flaming Lips inspired sound they soon found themselves supporting acts like Cooper Temple Clause, The Futureheads, The Others and The Constantines. In 2007 they started flying over to do live shows in London, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester. It soon became clear that the UK was where the band could find a receptive audience and so the songwriting core of the band, Sandro (vocals/guitar) and Giuseppe (vocals/bass/keyboards), moved to London armed with just their guitars and lots of European plug adaptors. One rainy Sunday they bumped into Anthony and Ben busking on the tube in giant sombreros. They talked, they laughed and eventually, they joined forces…
Turnpike Glow are featured in my July show on Dandelion Radio, a John Peel-inspired online station playing exciting new and unsigned music. We are a fully-licensed Internet station that is run and presented by volunteers recording monthly shows.
We have our next mini-festival at 93 Feet East on Saturday 25th July with an amazing line-up along with our usual Burlesque, performance art and Electro DJ’s. Check out the ticket link below. See you there.

Hey guys! After a year and a half we are back charging full steam ahead with the release of our latest album "Songs For The Road Towards The End Of The World" this past May 31, 2009. Unlike our two previous releases this was a long duration album (LP) featuring 12 all created by Pete Drown. Mike Mellow participated in the album by co-producing it and creating the art. The first single is called "Ciento Once Grados" (111 Degrees) and we have a brief video/slideshow teaser for it on our page.
We want to invite you to download our free album and share with us your feedback. All you have to do is click on the Cover art either on this message or by visiting our myspace page. There you can also download our previous two EP's if you don't have them already.
So, that being said, I hope you download it, I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you let us know. Thanks again. Micro out...
