Kronstad 23 Ignites with High-Octane Surf-Rock Energy on New Single “Turbo”

Norwegian jazz-rock renegades Kronstad 23 return with a fiery new instrumental single, “Turbo”, released via Knall I Padden Records. Hailing from Bergen, Norway, the band continues to blur genre lines, and this time they’ve strapped on a jetpack of surf rock, garage chaos, and jazz-funk swagger. “Turbo” is a sonic adrenaline rush, and yes, it’s every bit as fast and wild as the title suggests.

“Turbo” throws listeners into a groove-laden frenzy. The guitars are gritty and overdriven, channeling classic surf vibes with a punkish edge, while the drums keep a relentless pace that dares you not to move. Underneath the raw rock framework, Kronstad 23’s jazz roots peek through with tightly wound rhythmic shifts and playful melodic turns. The synths add a retro-futuristic flavor, zipping in and out like sparks from an overloaded circuit.

Kronstad 23, best known for their genre-bending 2024 album Jobber Overtid, continues to prove they’re a powerhouse of innovation. “Turbo” doesn’t just demand volume, it deserves it.
