Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to Cooking Vinyl.
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 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.

Verse C#mBAB Last clown drinking in a bar that's about to be closed down C#mBAB A hero I was in people's plans I was shaking their hands C#mBAB I got lost in the world slow motion walking and diatribe talking C#mBAB As bad as things be, I’m a natural survivor (Repeat same chords for next part of verse)
Chorus: CACG oooooh, last clown with your dreams so shallow CAE You will learn, you can never return CACG Though the grand scheme of things may seem rearranged CAE People smile, but they never ever change
