Turf War is an Atlanta band that has been making quite a buzz in the scene lately, opening for acts such as Black Lips, Free Energy, and Titus Andronicus. They’re sound is reminiscent of a southern version of the late Exploding Hearts: fun, lo-fi power pop. I saw them at the aforementioned Free Energy and Titus show and they really tore it up. The crowd seemed wary at first, but became much more enthusiastic as the show went on. They also made fans of the other bands as the guitarist of Free Energy wore a Turf War shirt for most of the night. Luckily for us, they posted their 4-song EP for free on their Tumblr!

Im a Organic Chemist trying to knock my way through PhD. I began writing music during a summer I spent away from home That summer I felt incredibly isolated and out of contact with everyone in my life. I used my lyrics as a way to speak to the world and tell them the words that had been jailed in my mind for so long. Luckily I made it out alive and still cant stop writing music. My music has a very synthy electronic feel that is normally termed Dream Pop or Synth Pop. Hope you like it!
Get it? Kiddie Khemistry?
