Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to the Source label. Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who actually were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience. Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year. In 2003 "Ether Song" got to #3 in the UK album charts and spawned a Top 5 single "Pain Killer". Further commercial success was not achieved.

Pain Killer Lyrics
Turin Brakes
Batten up the hatches
Here come the cold
I can feel it creeping It's making me old
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out
You need something better then
Bacon and eggs
The creeking in the walls and
The banging on the bed
You give me so love that it blows my brains out
Summer rain,
Dripping down your face again
Summer rain,
Praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer
Cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery beghind...
My love,
Givin' me head
Feeling very guilty breaking the bread
Losing my attention
I'm taking the world on...
So batten up the hatches
Here comes the cold
I can feel it creeping it's making me old
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out
