Turin Brakes, founded by childhood friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, is today made up of Knights, Paridjanian, and long-term collaborators Rob Allum and Eddie Myer.

They released their Mercury-nominated debut The Optimist LP in March 2001 and followed it up in 2003 with their most commercially successful album – Ether Song. Produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck,Supergrass,The Kooks) it hit the Top 5 in the UK Official Album Charts. Arguably more sonically adventurous than their debut it features the Top 5 hit single ‘Pain Killer (SummerRain)’.

To date, Turin Brakes have racked up seven top 40 singles, six top 40 albums and over a million record sales worldwide.

Turin Brakes will release their new album Spacehopper on 23rd May 2025.

The new single of the same name is out now.
