Turn off your television

Turn Off Your Television lives up to their name. Everytime you listen to their songs, they do want to make you turn off your television or simply tune out from all the hustle and bustle of your life to relax and enjoy some great quiet folk pop rock music. This Swedish trio's sound is everything you need if you find yourself stressed and want something to soothe your overworked nerves. What's even better is that the boys offer up 12 awesome tracks all for free. It's quite a treat considering that the entire album provides one great track after another.
