​Ottoman Turks (from the album Ottoman Turks II available on State Fair Records)
Born in Dallas, Texas, Ottoman Turks was a labor of love for its band members as they dedicated themselves to other projects in their collective paths. High school friends who shared a love of deep, meaningful music, thought-provoking and incendiary, captured within the confines of a raucous Rock’n’Roll song. The core of Ottoman Turks, Nathan Mongol Wells (vocals, rhythm guitar), Billy Law (bass, vocals), and Paul Hinojo (drums) found themselves without a lead guitar, asking Billy’s childhood friend to sit in for a single show. The friend, Joshua Ray Walker, stayed on-stage becoming a full-time member for Ottoman Turks and filling out the quartet.
 
Ever watched a fear-of-god film from the Fire Department showing how quickly a small fire can rage and roar, engulfing a room in seconds? That’s the sound of Ottman Turks II, the recent release from the band. Opening track, “Wound Up”, chews up chords and notes, spitting them out in a revolving rhythm as Ottoman Turks slow the beat to jittery for the tale of “Cigarettes and Alcohol”, snarl an intro for “American Male”, and shout out “Low Down Blue Dog Whine” on a hillbilly honky tonk hoot. Ottoman Turks II churns out a Southwest tale, dosing a Spanish novella with a speed bump to double-time the vocal spit splashing over “Vaquero”. The slapped-bass beat of “Rootless Tree” shudders with an evil smirk as a pounding rhythm walks on mighty steps across “35 to Life”. A hell howl choir gathers to bring in the rumble rhythm underneath “Militant Preacher” as the pulpit it taken over by the main tent rants of “Conspiracy Freak” while Ottoman Turks saddle up for a Country ramble in “Travelin’ Blues” and slide into a Blues noir groove to warn of “Zoostack Lightnin’”.
