Channeling feelings of deep depression on New Scream (“Can I stay at home, I don’t want to go, I don’t to want to wake up until the sun is hanging low. Complementary to Stephan Jenkins sorrowful admissions on Third Eye Blind’s Self Titled Record, Getz dives head first into this record, mercilessly opening up his soul, tearing up old wounds, bearing all past regrets and grudges to the listener. Paired with this musicianship are the heartfelt and gut-wrenching lyrics from lead singer Austin Getz. Whether the slow buildup of the opening track Cutting My Fingers Off, the soothing strums on Humming or the upbeat jamming on Take My Head, the reverb wielding quartet deliver in spades catchy melodies that brings character and atmosphere to each track. Reminiscent of bands like Minus the Bear and American Football, Turnover have littered this record with plenty of technical guitar hooks that jumps at the listener’s ears. With a few tweaks in sound and technique, the band released their second full length LP entitled Peripheral Visions in May, hoping to finally break through and leave a mark on critics and listeners alike, and boy have they done that. Forming in 2009, the outfit began as a run-of-the-mill pop punk band grinding out music, vigorously touring dive bars and clubs trying to make a break on a perpetually crowded music scene. Turnover are a Rock band from Virginia Beach, Virginia. Every so often I’ve been blessed with stumbling upon a record that has so directly encapsulated the ethos of why I listen to music and fills an endless craving that I tirelessly long for. Whether it be the angsty confusion of a naive adolescent, the uncertain future of an overburdened adult in the wide chasm of the modern world or the somber reflections of a man’s drawn out past while at the gates of mortality, music has been a catalyst for expression and empathy. Most of all, I’ve been attracted to musicians who could communicate the emotions I feel so intertwined with through song. Throughout my life, I’ve been attracted to music that’s drawn me to different perspectives of life and has brewed sensations and imagery that I didn’t know I could feel or imagine. Whether in moments of somber reflection or joyous celebration, music has resonated with us and helped us channel our deepest emotions. Ever since the dawn of time mankind has been drawn to the sounds of voices echoing choruses, instruments piecing together piercing melodies and revelational lyrics that bring us closer to God, our environment and to ourselves. Peripheral Vision solidifies the idea that Turnover is a band with its finger on the pulse of its generation: growing and learning with every release, but never failing to provide a relatable, cathartic experience for anyone listening.Review Summary: There's a fever burning up in me. Songs like “Hello Euphoria” and “Like Slow Disappearing” highlight the new calmer, more subdued approach to songwriting, matched by Austin Getz’s somber, confessional lyrics that echo throughout songs as if his words were haunting every measure. Working again with Magnolia producer Will Yip (Title Fight, Circa Survive), Turnover’s latest record shows a band maturing to create their best effort: an ethereal, reverb-drenched soundscape blending elements of hazy dream pop and the delicate emo rock of yesteryear. The emotional honesty poured out over a number of anthemic releases has been a proven formula of success for the band, but on their sophomore LP Peripheral Vision, the band treads into deeper water. Virginia Beach’s Turnover has never been a band afraid of telling the truth.
