Trik Turner

Trik Turner is a rap rock band founded in Phoenix, Arizona in 1999. The band is best known for their song "Friends and Family," which reached the Top Ten on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and received airplay on MTV, VH1 and Adult Contemporary television and radio formats. They were the first band to ever have two different videos aired on MTV for the same song, "Friends and Family". They made appearances on Late Show with David Letterman, Last Call with Carson Daly, Late World With Zach and The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. "Friends and Family" was also featured on the Mr. Deeds movie soundtrack and "Black Sheep" was featured in the movie You Got Served. Although they were to go back into the studio, differences among band members led some to part ways. The band was dropped from RCA Records. They continued to tour and released a second album via their website, Naming the Unidentified, in 2005.
