Rough Around the Edges

by Richard Turgeon

supported by

geitungur akureyrar Richard is one of those individuals you hate. Solely because he has the ability to produce fantastic music in the mould of Adam Schmitt or Collingwood/Schlesinger. Bought on the strength of a review in Shindig magazine from the UK and a quick listen here on Bandcamp. Now I've had time to have a proper listen this is wonderful stuff.

about

'Rough Around the Edges' is Rich’s seventh record released since 2017's 'In Between the Spaces.'

The EP includes six tracks exploring everything from messy relationships (“Please Take Me Back”) to childhood anxiety (“Fire Drill”) to a young woman looking for love in San Francisco (“7 Stories”). The digital version on Bandcamp and the CD now available from Kool Kat Musik will be the only places to find four bonus tracks, with one previously unreleased (“Keepin’ It Real”).

The last five years has seen Rich continue to grow a strong following in indie rock and power pop circles. His music has been called “new vintage rock” or “California rock” that’s found regular airplay on SiriusXM and other well known podcasts and FM radio stations throughout the world.

In addition to writing and producing records, Rich is also a screenwriter, and last year optioned his first screenplay, HOLY MAN—a crime drama about the strange and tragic relationship between Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson and Charles Manson.

Rich’s music is available on all major streaming platforms, iTunes, Bandcamp (give a follow), and through Kool Kat Musik on CD. You can keep up with his music, check out videos, reviews, join his email list and follow his socials at www.richardturgeon.com

SNAFU
by Potty Mouth

Saw these ladies open for Juliana Hatfield and they're my new favorite band. If you like '90s alt-rock like Veruca Salt and the Donnas, these 3 kick it up a notch. Amazing. Richard Turgeon

Truth Hits Everybody *Bonus Track*
by Juliana Hatfield

I've been a fan of J's since the mid-'90s, when "Become What You Are" became one of my favorite LPs ever. I've since met her in person, seen her play 3x, and featured her in my book, 'Indie Rock 101.' Richard Turgeon
