Trik Turner formed in Arizona around the turn of the millennium and within a year found themselves at number 4 in the Billboard Chart with the single Friends and Family backed by major label RCA. Instantly adored by MTV who placed two different videos for the same song in heavy rotation at the same time, the band found themselves performing on the David Letterman Show, Last Call with Carson Daly, the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and Late World with Zach. Their self titled debut album sold 170,000 copies across the US, a quarter of a million further units internationally and went gold in Japan whilst Friends and Family turned out to be one of the top 30 US sellers of the whole year.

The band spent the next few years touring the US with Eminem, POD, Puddle of Mudd, Staind and Linkin Park as well as appearing at a host of music festivals alongside acts like Avenged Sevenfold, Buckcherry and British live favourites Muse to name just a few.

Splitting from their major label the band eventually found their way back to a recording studio to lay down a second album, Naming the Unidentified which showcased a refreshed and exciting alternative rock style which has had live audiences going nuts and kept Doug, Sean, Aaron, Chris and James busier than ever.

Highlighted often in their genre for genuine musicianship and lyricism that reflects the often very personal and heartfelt experiences of the group rathern than tedious macho posturing, the band have maintained a young and devoted fanbase that regularly credits them for saving their lives through hard times, and have proved themselves capable of evolving, improving and moving with the musical times. Fed by an incredible passion for creating music and performing it to pumped up mosh pits everything until now has been a warm up, and the best is still very much to come from Trik Turner.

"Trik Turner officially greets us and starts our blood pumping... They draw the crowd in with ‘Friends and Family’, this song sneaks up and grabs hold; it’s beautiful and well done. Their new piece ‘Temporary Fix’ starts out sexy and alluring then builds steadily into controlled aggression with an awesome angry finish that elicits screams and cheers from the crowd."
Gigwise Magazine

“Trik Turner address a variety of trenchant issues including drug abuse, alcoholism and the struggle for individuality... But instead of lashing out with cynicism, the group uses its anger as fuel to create something positive, cleansing and cathartic.”
