melodic

The whole story began in the year 2000. It was just another alcohol-fueled Friday night, and after a while the boys (Ville and Sakke) decided that the world needs another melodic metal band. There can never be enough those around. And since they had been playing in bands practically all their lives, they felt that this should be a piece of cake. After all,how hard can it be to form a band? A rehearsal was scheduled.

Team Turnip is a musical endeavour based in Edinburgh. Its MO is simple: to create highly melodic songs, peppered with harmonies and saddled with caustic, bittersweet lyrics. Team Turnip has coined the phrase "sour-pop" to assist in the description of its output. More specifically it is a mix of indie-pop with elements of folk and chamber pop. The instruments used vary wildly and nothing is considered unusable. TT hopes you all enjoy.

For the psytrance artists go to the Black & White page and fix your tags. The band went under the name “First Love” and performed at the Hemmens Auditorium Battle of the Bands. The band took first place and won “cash plus recording time”. As time went on the band changed its name to “Black and White” and soon became very popular on the Illinois Club Circuit. The band performed at Chance’s R, Stay Out West and other Classic venues. Black and White Is: BOB SLAWEK / VOCALS JIM PATTERSON / BASS

There are at least 3 artists known under this name: 1) Fist (originally called Axe) was one of several early NWOBHM bands who were signed to MCA records at about the same time (others in this group were Quartz, Tygers Of Pan Tang, and White Spirit). Their sound wasn't too different from their contemporaries, with the exception being they had a slightly more melodic feel to their songs. Two albums were released, and like many other NWOBHM bands, they faded away soon after, disbanding in 1984.
