Turnover

Released in 2011, the self-titled EP from Turnover serves as the band's definitive entry into the melodic hardcore and pop-punk canon. Recorded well before their stylistic pivot on 'Peripheral Vision', this 5-track release is characterized by high-tempo percussion, aggressive guitar work, and lyrics centered on suburban isolation and failed relationships. The production is notably drier and more 'in-your-face' than their later work, favoring a classic punk aesthetic of loud-quiet-loud dynamics. Tracks like 'Sasha' became staples of the era's underground scene, showcasing a band capable of balancing hook-heavy melodies with genuine emotional weight. While the band would later distance themselves from this sound, the EP remains a beloved document of the early 2010s 'Run For Cover Records' sound, bridging the gap between traditional pop punk and the burgeoning 'emo revival' movement of the time.
