110 formed in Istanbul in 1990 with vocalist Serkan Tüzün, guitarist Özkan Uğur, bassist Ozan Tügen, and drummer Ufuk Yıldırım. They built an early following through live shows and underground channels, operating independently from mainstream Turkish music circles.
Their sound shifted from raw rock toward grunge and alternative influences, with some traditional Turkish folk elements mixed in. The 1997 album "Çarpışma" brought them wider attention, anchored by the single "Bitti Mi," a song about lost love that connected with listeners. They also released albums like "Deliler" in 1993 and "Tam Zamanı" in 2000.
Their lyrics sometimes addressed social issues, which led to occasional censorship or bans from airplay. The lineup changed over time, Özkan Uğur left in 1998, replaced by Erdem Helvacıoğlu, and Ufuk Yıldırım departed in 2003, succeeded by Aykut Gürel. They worked with other artists including Teoman and Aylin Aslım.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
