can’t remember the last time I listened to an album that gave me a true experience. I rely on older albums to give me that feeling as a listener, sometimes I feel disenchanted by modern music and it almost makes me want to give up on what is new and retreat into yesteryear. Luckily I haven’t given up yet and am glad I didn’t, otherwise I would have completely missed out on Destroy Us All by Turbo Goth. - Steven Holt
Turbo Goth Destroy Us All is an Album You Have to Have

Two kinds of love were blossoming in the late 2000s.
There is the customary exposition when speaking of Turbo Goth. Paolo Peralta was working as a sous chef at fine dining restaurant Nino, and Sarah Gaugler was a fine arts student at the University of Santo Tomas. Overlapping social circles dipped in the local music scene brought the two together, and Turbo Goth was born around 2007. Paolo recounts over email interview: “Sarah used to be so shy and quiet given her difficult childhood growing up, but when I heard her voice singing softly over the mix-CD she had playing in the car, to my ears her voice, soft and airy, was sweeter than The Sundays and so I decided to ask her to be my new vocalist.” It’s the stuff of great romances. The “boy meets girl” trope is well-worn, but it’s sometimes undeniable. And it’s always kind of a miracle when two people meet and turn out to be each other’s soulmates, romantically and artistically at the same time. - Jam Pascual
Close Encounters: A Retrospective Of Turbo Goth’s “Destroy Us All”

AUSTIN, TX- When I go through my selection process of acts that I want to catch at SXSW, I have my own personal preferences. Obviously, the quality of the music matters, but I’m always a little more excited when I see a band that features asian musicians.
When I clicked “play” on Turbo Goth’s Spotify playlist, the pulsing, distorted bass of “Venus Flytrap” filled my headphones and instantly caught my attention. All of a sudden, abrasive guitar riffs and piercing synths hit. Then the lead singer’s soft, delicate vocals, in an almost Hope Sandoval way, floats in and creates a satisfying balance. I was intrigued. When I found out the band was Asian, I dug a little deeper. - Derrick Lee

It only takes two to power through.
The turbo duo, made up of Sarah Gaugler on vocals (not to mention the needle, because she also does astounding tattoos) and Paolo Peralta on guitars, treats their audience to a roundtrip flight of the imagination.
The stage swiftly becomes a platform in a music box, with the clashing trinkets of a wildly dancing guitar and a humming figurine front and center. It just takes two warm bodies to create a celestial impact, contained in words and tunes.
