Sandro Schiena (vocals / guitar / keys) and Giuseppe La Mela (vocals / bass / keys) started the band in Rome, in a scene marginalised by glossy Italian mainstream pop and insider trading. However, with their Pavement / Phoenix inspired sound, they soon found themselves supporting acts like Cooper Temple Clause, The Futureheads and The Constantines. In 2007 they started flying over to do live shows in London, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester. It wasn't long before Sandro and Giuseppe, the songwriting core of the band, moved to London, where they met Anthony J. Hutchinson (drums) and Jeremy Levy (guitar) and formed Turnpike Glow!

An official single will be released in early 2012, along with their debut EP. In the meantime our friends at A Badge Of Friendship are offering you a FREE download of Turnpike Glow’s The Turn, The Pike And The Glow HERE
