Albums Of The Week: The Ringo Jets | Radio Ringo

The Turkish trio spin you ’round the dial with this eclectic but solidly rockin’ release.

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Turkish trio The Ringo Jets are back with their most versatile and sophisticated, career-defining album. Aptly titled Radio Ringo, the album runs in vein of a radio station that spins good music in many a genre — from all over the world to the whole world.

It showcases 14 brand new tracks in addition to three interludes and two intros. Written by the band and recorded in Istanbul throughout 2022 at Studio No:5, Radio Ringo also happens to be the first TRJ album to be produced by the band’s own Tarkan Mertoğlu. Four singles have already been released to great critical acclaim, with the second one (Last Man Standing — mixed by renowned engineer Chris Sheldon) charting in five European countries in addition to its domestic success. The others, in chronological order, are Çilek Mevsimi, Şehir and Alibi. Be sure to give this one a run to hear the Ringos at their very best. We’re confident you will wanna own this.

Turkey’s most interesting musical exports, The Ringo Jets are a fiery, loud yet melodic rock trio comprising two guitarists and a drummer sharing vocal duties. TRJ appeared on prestigious festivals such as Sziget, Primavera, and Transmusicales and toured Europe extensively. Their musical ethos, infectious songs and solid stage performance make for a remarkably authentic rock band.”
