BIOGRAPHY

What if the Ramones were born in Austria… and permanently thirsty for beer? That’s exactly where TURBOBIER comes charging in. When it comes to sweaty, beer-fueled Austro-punk, this Vienna-based four-piece is completely unstoppable. With ripping guitars, turbo-charged energy, and more attitude than your grumpy neighbor before his first coffee, TURBOBIER tear across Europe’s stages and make one thing crystal clear: they don’t do things halfway. For over a decade, TURBOBIER has stood for pure mayhem, sharp wit, no-nonsense punk, and a rhythm so tight even Swiss watches would throw in the towel. Five albums in ten years—like clockwork (but louder). Tracks like “Insel muss Insel bleiben” (“An Island Must Stay an Island”), “King of Simmering”, and “Fuaßboiplotz” (“Football Field”) have become cult sing-alongs for their devoted fan army, who lose their minds at every gig.

TURBOBIER shows are full-throttle chaos—no shirt stays dry, no chorus goes unscreamed. And they’re not just hometown heroes anymore. With wild tours across Europe’s clubs and festivals and three Amadeus Austrian Music Awards under their belt, these guys have already made a name for themselves far beyond Vienna’s city limits. In 2026, they’re back with a bang: on May 1st (Labor Day, of course), their brand-new studio album “Das Leben is ein Oaschloch” (translation: Life’s an Asshole) drops. It’s the ultimate soundtrack for everyone who’s done taking life too seriously—and would rather party through the chaos. Musically, it’s a throwback to the roots: sometimes heavy like a Monday morning, sometimes light like that first after-work beer. To top it all off, they’re hitting the road again for the “Das Leben is ein Oaschloch” Tour 2026, ready to turn clubs and festival stages into absolute madhouses once more.
