Turf is a Argentine rock band, formed in December of the year 1995. They have been described to sound like classic rock of the 1970s, with clear influences of britpop and indie pop. The group has dropped several albums during their active years.

Their more popular songs include "Loco un poco" ("A little crazy"), "Yo no me quiero casar, ¿y usted?" ("I don't want to get married, do you?"), "Pasos al costado" ("Step aside"), and more.

The band separated in 2007 due to differences between between the members, giving rise to other bands such as Poncho and Sponsors.

In 2014 the band all reunited for some concerts, before officially announcing they were back together in 2015.
