Research Turtles

1205 N. Lakeshore Dr., Lake Charles LA 70601

Taking cues from The Beatles and Weezer, Research Turtles bring an energetic mix of pop and rock that is fun, honest, and at times nostalgic. Their sound is reminiscent of 60s-era British invasion rock with thick guitars, driving beats, and simple pop structures. The â€œTurtlesâ€� consist of brothers Jud and Joe Norman, Logan Fontenot, and Blake Thibodeaux, and in less than a year this up and coming Rock & Roll band has toured the Southern United States, released two EPs, and is currently busy working on their first full length album with Nashville producer Justin Tocket (Marc Broussard, Son's of William).

Thinking Plyers has brought a new level of originality and sophistication to the rock genre." - 8th Street Coffee Escanaba, MI

"Few bands today maintain the musical influence of what rock should be, but Thinking Plyers is one of those bands. They deliver an amazing musical journey everytime they perform. They are sure to please the creative mind inside us all." - LSU Tiger Weekly Baton Rouge, LA
