Turbulent – 「Fing頭少年」，繼續相信過程！
搖滾搖滾，聽到好嘅搖滾身體自然跟住一齊搖！Turbulent五子就「搖」得合拍傳神，5個band仔同一個「Fing頭」tempo，real「齊上齊落」。台下嘅我睇得嘩一聲，心諗呢隊band連Fing頭都咁整齊時，身體不知不覺已搖埋一份了。
「Fing頭」以外，還有很多畫面說明呢隊年青樂隊默契十足！上台set up時的high-five、演出時主唱Zackery 會Que各樂手上前表演solo、結他手斷弦時大家的搞鬼反應……這些畫面都看得人會心一笑，被他們青春團魂所感染。先自招一下，對Turbulent第一觀感係覺得佢哋應該幾green，鼓手旨頌感覺可能會穩重些；（純個人觀感：主唱與另外一位結他手令人諗起某兩隊2010s香港樂隊嘅主唱，睇一次live大家就知^^）而當他們一演奏，聽到前衛嘅電子底聲，Damn！green嘅唔係佢哋，而係我嘅「睇show雷達」——首先主唱聲線厚實，夠壓場！台風、咬字、lead合唱上都有著與稚嫩樣貌不符嘅成熟，同時又保留到那一絲自然的、後生band獨有的「曳」！
而台上的其他樂手同樣難以忽略——唔單止係因為Zackery有意que他們上前！例如Bass佬阿勤就好into演出，幾乎全程都keep住fing，大部份時間都開口跟唱，比人感覺唔係各自各玩自己樣樂器，而係大家on the same page same stage，難怪呢5個人可以fing得咁合拍！另外兩位結他手璁仔、安仔亦夠自信，但都有啲蝦碌嘢發生——斷弦！好彩 Zackery用佢唔鹹唔淡嘅英文救場，當時差唔多去到最尾一首歌，臨intro一刻條弦仲未tune好，Zackery再嚟個尷生硬cut，拍心口向觀眾保證段intro值得大家等多陣！至到結他手舉起姆指，the show go on，事實亦證明the wait is worth，呢段小插曲令當晚嘅高潮更具戲劇性，相信台下觀眾都感受到Turbulent嗰種「好想將好音樂帶比大家」嘅熱誠！五子喺個段結他intro流露出嘅pure joy，感染力爆登！
台上嘅the wait is over，但隨住Zackery宣佈Turbulent進入一段「蘊釀期」，相信大家要再等多排了，佢哋講咗嗰重要日子—2026年3月7日，Turbulent將會有啲搞作，想知係咩就stay tune啦！睇完今次嘅live，我會話如果你追尋緊一場夠energy夠hyper，fing得過癮、聽完好似後生幾年嘅樂隊演出；相信過程啦，呢隊band值得等！
P.S. 完show後見到第二隊樂隊嘅鼓手特登上前讚旨頌手鼓，至少證明我當初感覺旨頌較穩重的預感還算準吧XD

Five angsty musicians collide in one beautiful destructive chaotic musical storm. Turbulent, named after crashing ocean currents, is a local pop rock band with lots of punk energy. As their name suggests (they’re pretty big on the symbolism of their name on most socials), their music is heavy, energetic and emotional – the turbulence is not only musical, but personal as well. They’re also counter-cultural (or as they put it, “refuse to be confined to established frameworks). In any case with a name like Turbulent, you’re expecting a couple of collisions.
Their first song 續 (Continue) was a rock ballad, naturally full of turbulence already, with hints of dreamcore on the squealing guitars and background chanting. Their vibes and performance style matched the energy with each musician’s outfit being similar but slightly different – most wore dark, earthy tones, except one of the guitarists was in a green crop top and the someone had a pearl necklace. Their collisions are planned – the falling scales in the song clashed deliberately with the rhythms which then were covered in vocals like dripping water. That’s not to mention their incredible guitar shreds as well providing even more layers.
The effect overall was a dreamlike piece of rock, beautiful and energetic, but expressive and full of angst.
Their later songs got the crowd riled up in their tempest, especially “Asteroid” where they asked everyone to “jump like an asteroid” (although it was misheard by many as “jump like a steroid” which kind of makes sense but also definitely wasn’t what they intended). The song, and its transitions in and out were both smooth musical segues, but also roller-coasters of noise.
Despite being around for a couple of years, this was actually Turbulent’s first time on the Underground stage
“None of you knowing us is normal”, they said between songs “there is a long road in front of us and we hope we can play everywhere and want to thank the Underground for this chance”
And they definitely stole the stage not only with their explosive energy but their genuineness, apologising several times for their bad English. With several decent bilingual songs, I can’t see why they’d feel bad, although they should probably get that steroid problem sorted.
All in all, Turbulent is an exciting, energetic storm, full of genuine emotion and skill. Although there were a few accidental comedic moments, everyone was headbanging along the full hour. Next time I’m on a plane and the pilot says there’s turbulence up ahead, I’m hoping the band flies out of the cockpit.
