One convert at a time, Turnover is becoming a band that whoever listens, keeps listening. A super great break out album, Peripheral Vision. Adoration by genre-crossing fans. Sharp and resonant lyrics. An easy going vibe conducive to repeat listens. And a great label full of killer up-and-coming bands: Run For Cover Records (Pinegrove, The Sun Days, Pity Sex). They are currently on a Europe and UK tour with four previously shared FSL bands: Moose Blood, PUP, and Boston Manor (sweet new tunes out recently). Without terrible success their first few years of existence, and nonstop touring taking its toll, the band decided if something didn’t change, they’d cut back and make this more of a “hobby-based thing.” That allowed them to take some risks (if you can call it that) and make some changes to their sound, just do whatever they wanted without the fear established bands have of pissing off their fan-base (as reported from last night’s Cymbals Eat Guitars show in Brooklyn). The risks have paid off, and this year “has definitely been the coolest and best year,” taking them to Europe, Japan and Australia. The real question now becomes, so what’s next? Do they take more risks and mix it up again? Hang tight to what’s paying the bills? People hate on bands selling out, but usually selling out goes hand in hand with gettin’ paid son ($$)… so who are we corporate sell outs to judge?


Speaking of hanging on to things, here’s an older track from a few years back. The EP came about when they mixed up their lineup and brought Eric Soucy in for guitar and back up vocals, initiating the transformation to their current sound. This song’s about the fallout with that person you kinda hung on to, who was always around, but never “the” person. You never meant to hurt anyone, or yourself. You both knew the deal. Still didn’t change the way things ended up.


Feli Says Listen to Peripheral Vision on repeat

The four childhood friends originally named their band Topanga – yes, like THAT Topanga. They named their band after Boy Meets World… smh – but ended up changing it when they found out Disney was rebooting the franchise (some things should stay dead). Stefan Babcock, vocals and guitar for PUP, and yes, his real name, said his grandma used to tell him he was a “Pathetic Use of Potential”… and voila, PUP. Ugh, aren’t grandmas just the best? Inspiring us to be all we can be. Telling us to eat something, that we look hungry, then telling us we look fat. Not “are” fat. “Look” fat. Way worse. Where are my great grandkids? Why can’t you find someone nice? Are you EVER gonna settle down? Why haven’t you come visit me? You must not love me very much. Have you met my hair dresser’s granddaughter? She’s a little young for you right now, but in a few years she’ll be in college and just the right age for you to scoop her up. Thanks Nana. It seems Stefan really wanted to stick it to his grandma cuz his band’s new album The Dream Is Over is tight. Not only that, but the video they made for the track “DVP” is truly killer for anyone who played video games in the 80s and 90s. They play Music Hall of Williamsburg Sat. June 25.

 

That’s all Feli has to Say about grandmas
