RADIO RINGO by The Ringo Jets
The Ringo Jets are back with their most versatile and sophisticated, career-defining album. Aptly titled 'Radio Ringo', the album runs in vein of a radio station that spins good music in many a genre - from all over the world to the whole world. It showcases 14 brand new tracks in addition to 3 interludes and 2 intros. Written by the band and recorded in Istanbul throughout 2022 at Studio No:5, 'Radio Ringo' also happens to be the first TRJ album to be produced by the band's own Tarkan Mertoğlu. Four singles have already been released to great critical acclaim, with the 2nd one ("Last Man Standing" - mixed by renowned engineer Chris Sheldon) charting on Spotify in 5 European countries in addition to its domestic success. The others, in chronological order, are "Çilek Mevsimi", "Şehir" and "Alibi". Be sure to give this one a run to hear the Ringos at their very best. We're confident you will wanna own this album digital as well as on vinyl, both of which are available for purchase here.

Arguably one of Turkey's most interesting musical exports - a fiery, loud yet melodic rock trio comprising two guitarists and a drummer sharing vocal duties. TRJ appeared on prestigious festivals such as Sziget, Primavera, and Transmusicales and toured Europe extensively. Their musical ethos, infectious songs and solid stage performance make for a remarkably authentic rock band.
