His music spans punk, pop, and folk, marked by sharp lyrics and a passionate style. Turner remains an influential voice in British music.

Montreal's NOBRO, a new-age punk band, released their debut album "Set Your Pussy Free," a caustic, party-punk celebration. Shortlisted for a 2024 POLARIS Prize and nominated for a 2025 JUNO, the album embodies defiant liberation. Fronted by Kathryn McCaughey and Karolane Carbonneau, NOBRO is about risk-taking and empowerment in a tough world.
