Turbo Ocho is the fifth studio album released by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. It was released on April 29, 2008.

Background

January 4, 2008, Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers started an eight consecutive day audio/video chronicle. A revolutionary reality-recording experiment where the band and crew set up a studio in a seaside home in Rocky Point, Mexico and broadcast daily audio and video episodes of a song a day to thousands of fans back home in the United States. They created and shared, from inspiration to the final mix, 8 songs in 8 days. Three more fan favorites were added to the song lineup for the final physical release two months later.
