So I got a MySpace invite from a band called The Turn. The recording quality of their songs is good, and one of them is actually in 7/4 time, so they can't be totally lame. Overall, though, they sound too much like everyone else I've heard who's currently popular. And I'm not sure what to do with this hype: With Patrick Gavigan on vocals, Phil Gardner on drums, Don Beaudoin on bass and Corey Crawford on guitar, The TURN truly defines what is meant to be an intense live act. Patricks unique voice crafts the sound of The TURN through a smooth ghostly delivery countered by a growl maintaining melody and musicality. His dynamic stage presence and tight rhythmic guitar work set off this explosive live band and guide the songs into place. Much is the case with The Turns dynamic and dramatic writing style. They come with smart melodic hooks disguised in heavy rhythmic codes smothered in harmony. A unique blend that stands alone in todays power-pop/über-punk scene, The Turn offers no gimmicks, just honesty in music. Their name is about the choice in life, the left and right, the good and bad, the yes or no, the moment of decision, the TURN. I really hope they didn't write that themselves. Yowtch. I may be adding them to my New Harbingers Of Pith page, but only on a probationary basis. I'm awesome at networking.
