This is a remarkable band – one that puts artistic integrity above all else – a trio that loves playing together and always eager to continue sharing the magic that made audiences fall in love with them, recorded and onstage.
The Ringo Jets is formed in Istanbul by versatile guitarists Tarkan (Mertoğlu), Deniz (Ağan), and the hard-hitting drummer Lale (Kardeş) with no bass in line-up. Their melodic yet loud and energetic garage-rock ethos gained exposure after 1st EP "Limited Lunch Pack" (2012). Self-titled 2014 debut album produced by Tommaso Colliva was released in the aftermath of Istanbul’s Gezi protests to critical acclaim, catapulting the band into European concert circles. Alongside festivals such as Primavera Sound, Les Rencontres Transmusicales, and Rock ‘n’ Coke, TRJ supported the likes of The Pixies, Portishead and Gogol Bordello while touring extensively. The compilation LP 'Assorted' showcased Turkish Psychedelia influences and was followed by 2nd studio album 'Open Sesame' in 2018. 2019 brought appearances at Oslo's Øyafestivalen and Sziget Festival’s Europe Stage as co-headliners under new management and record label. The 4-track Yadigâr EP included songs in Turkish – a 1st for TRJ who mesmerized a 30K-crowd as special guest openers of mor ve ötesi’s stadium concert in May 2022, followed by a similar stint w/ @Måneskin.
'Radio Ringo' (2023) was named "Album of the Year" by many publications. The Ringos close 2024 with 2 new EPs: '87' and 'Shed My Skin'.
