"Turbo" is a Hungarian experimental/progressive/art rock outfit established in august of 2005 in Budapest.

History
By spring 2007 the band completed their first EP christened ”Boarman Session”. The tile derives trivially from the name of a small town near Nürnberg where the material had been recorded (Ebermannstadt). The first Ep was produced by german producer Thomas Geiger. The video for "One More Time" was aired heavily on MTV hungary and reached number 2 on the Rock Chart.  During summer 2007 Jero joined the band on bass (ex-Rémember) whose contribution is an additional energy supply.

At the beginning of 2008 Delov Jávor arrived replacing former drummer, Gábor Bardóczi. Jávor's spirit and jazz training were the last refinements on the Turbo formula. During summer 2008 the band recorded their first LP which was released in February 2009 by a hungarian independent label, MamaZone.

In January 2009 the Turbo performed at the famous EuroSonic Festival in Groningen.

Their self-titled first LP was well received by the audience and reviewers alike which paved the way for the band to perform at the major festivals in Hungary during summer 2009. In the meantime the distribution of the LP has been launched in Japan.

In June 2009 the band was invited to give their first acoustic gig ever at the studio of the Hungarian National Radio in front of a small audience. The concert was broadcast in October 2009. The acoustic environment provided Turbo a challenging opportunity to reinterpret their songs and get away from their riff-based music to arrive at a more melodic approach. Mirkó Milosevits, an acclaimed piano genius and sound guru joined the band as a guest musician whose contribution became a real cornerstone in the band's acoustic sound and atmosphere. In the future Turbo plans to continue their acustic project involving some more guest artists. 

In early 2010 the band won Fonogram prize, for best pop/rock album of the year. Extended gigging continued. Amongst others, they played the Exit festival in Novi Sad, Serbia, and Sziget in Hungary. In november 2010 the first single "Magnet" from the forthcoming album was released. The band decided to self produce the record and to end working with MamaZone records. The album "Lost Measure" was self released digitally on 11th of May 2011. 500 promo copies were printed in order to find a new label and some support.
