Win a Bong From BYOP Side Project Turbo Fruits
They call them mellow yellow
Turbo Stein (Be Your Own Pet guitarist Jonas Stein), Turbo John (BYOP drummer John Eatherly), and Turbo Max (does anyone know this guy's real name?) are allowing Turbo Fruits fans to personally experience the band's songwriting inspiration with a contest based on a track from their recently released self-titled debut.
From now until midnight August 12 (technically August 13), anyone willing to count the number of times Stein says the word "volcano" in the Turbo Fruits song of the same name can enter to win a Storz & Bickel Volcano Vaporizer, the apparatus that inspired the song and which the contest's official rules call "the BMW of bongs."
According to the contest's other rules, if the winner of the contest is under 18, he or she will instead receive the cash equivalent: $540, i.e. enough to just buy tons of weed to smoke out of a more Volvo-esque bong. Also, "members of Turbo Fruits and their families are ineligible to enter," meaning Mama Stein might have to pay a visit to Carlos D or Man Man if she has to feed the need.
Turbo Fruits have a handful of U.S. and UK tour dates scheduled for the forthcoming weeks, and we advise attendees not to make any sudden movements at these shows.
Bring snacks:
07-29 Brooklyn, NY - Zebulon
08-03 Nashville, TN - The End
08-21 London, England - The Metro
08-22 London, England - The Old Blue Last
08-24 Reading, England - Reading Festival
08-25 Leeds, England - Leeds Festival
