TNK - TNK is known for their Indie/Alternative Rock-based songs with universal tones, typically produced without compromising its style, and distinguished by powerful, distinct vocal performances. Beginning their career in 2005 with the release of their debut EP album "Sıra Bizde," featuring tracks like "Kalpsiz" and "Elveda De," TNK quickly rose in music charts. They have performed not only in Türkiye and Europe but also at international festivals such as Masstival and Radarlive. Their album "Söyle Ruhum," released in 2010, marked a continuation of their work, garnering awards from various music magazines, universities, and media organizations, including the Altın Kelebek and Turkey Music Awards. Their song "Yine Yazı Bekleriz," which brought them the "Best Film Music" award with the film "Aşk Tesadüfleri Sever," expanded their audience significantly. Their 2013 release "Melankoli" is notable as a "garage" album. In 2016, they released three singles including "Aşkı Harcamanın 80 Yolu" and soundtracks like "Unutmam Seni," "Yansıma," and "Umrumda." In 2019, they released the album "Kanatlarımdan Tutma" and followed up in 2020 with their 5th studio album "Manik Depresif" under Sony Music Turkey, after some changes in group members. Continuing their concerts in 2023, they contributed to a project album featuring songs like "Yoz Şarkı" based on Özdemir Asaf's poems, alongside singles "Yok Çaresi" and "Suyun Üstünde." In February 2024, they interpreted the song "Yarına ne kaldı?" in the album "Yarına kalan şarkılar" by Kargo. The group is currently working on a new EP.

Driven by twin rhythm section Iggy and Zak, and backed by guitarists Vincent and Jude; they capture the nostalgic elements of 80s coming of age movies with the grittiness of 90s and 00s rock. The band’s different hometowns amalgamate to bring a determined attitude and an eagerness to assert themselves in the London Alternative Music scene. They have rapidly earned a reputation as a tight, dynamic, and sought-after live act, which they use to showcase their genuine love of performing for crowds and with each other. The band’s drive led them to iconic London studios Abbey Road and RAK Studios to record Debut EP ‘You’ve Got A Lot Of Nerve Believing In Me’ with MPG award winning producer Tayte Nickols. A collection of 4 varying songs that highlights the band’s unique sound and journey of uncertainty in their early 20s. The EP has been met with glowing reviews from radio icons such as Guy Garvey, Amy Lame (BBC Radio 6 Music) & John Kennedy (Radio X), while radio rising star William Wolstenholme (BBC Introducing Lancashire and Cumbria) has labelled them as “one of the most exciting bands in the country.” This has been matched with impressive press reviews from Clash, Louder Than War, and Backseat Mafia. After multiple sold-out shows at iconic London venues (The Social, Old Blue Last, Hope and Anchor), a wildly successful first UK tour, and supports with rising stars such as King Nun & The Rolling People; President Elect are driven to be the name on everybody’s lips in 2024.
