The Turbo A.C.'s are an American punk rock band from New York City, formed in 1995. The band's high-octane sound has led to comparisons with the likes of The Supersuckers and New Bomb Turks.
In 1996, the band released their first full-length album, Damnation Overdrive, on New York based hardcore label, Blackout Records. This was followed by releases on Cacophone, Nitro Records and Gearhead Records. The band's catalog features a number of punk personalities producing, including Agnostic Front's Roger Miret and the Dwarves' Blag Dahlia.
The band's name is a reference to the Turnbull A.C.'s, a fictional gang featured briefly in the 1979 Walter Hill film, The Warriors.
They have frequently toured Europe following releases on the German label, Bitzcore Records.
Bassist Mike Dolan left the band in 2005 to start a band in the vein of The Hellacopters and Motörhead called The FTW's.
Drummer Mike-e currently plays in the Montreal based band The Von Rebels.
Acoustic guitar guy, utility player Mikey Millionaire plays in the Newport, RI based Skinny Millionaires
