TURBO

There are multiple artists using this name: 1. Turbo (터보) was a Korean dance pop duo. With Kim Jong Kook doing his characteristic high pitched singing and Kim Jung Nam (JN) providing the rap, Turbo released their first album in 1995. They released a second album in 1996 before Jung Nam left the duo because of management issue. Jung Nam was replaced by Mikey and in 1997 the third Turbo album, Born Again, was released. Turbo discontinued as a group after making a 5th album in 2000, as Jong Kook had accepted an offer to go solo. Famous songs include " Goodbye yesterday", "Black cat" and many more. Songs produced are dance-like tracks. Similar to that of Koyote and Typhoon. 2. Turbo is a Polish metal band. It was started in January 1980 by Henryk Tomczak (formerly in Stress and Heam, both pioneering Polish hard rock groups). The first line-up were formed by Wojciech Hoffmann – guitar, Wojciech Anioła – drums and Wojciech Sowula – vocals. Soon a single was released, the tracks being W środku tej nocy (Deep in the Night) and Byłem z tobą tyle lat (So many years with you). The band's style back then was very much like 70s - early 80s hard rock. November 1980 the singer quit, and was replaced by Piotr Krystek. New tracks were recorded, and frequently aired by the radio. Soon more line-up changes came, the original founder and bassist left. 16-year old Piotr Przybylski took his place. Andrzej Łysów joined as second guitarist, and the singer was changed once again. Since then Turbo's vocals are handled by Grzegorz Kupczyk, one of the most famous Polish heavy metal singers, sometimes compared to Bruce Dickinson. In 1982 the first LP was released, entitled Dorosłe Dzieci (Grown-up Children). The music it contains is a blend of traditional hard rock and NWOBHM.
