Turn (Turn Album)
''Turn'' is the eponymously titled third full-length offering from the Irish indie trio Turn (band), Turn. ''Turn'' offered a more pop/singer songwriter direction for Meath based band. Their first album, ''Antisocial (album), Antisocial'', had shown a strong Pixies (band), Pixies style influence, their second album, ''Forward (Turn album), Forward'', offered an even darker side to the band's sound, but with ''Turn'' they showed they were not getting any darker. The album was a mixture of catchy pop tunes such as "It's About Nothing" and "Stop", and also more Elliott Smith inspired tunes, such as "Close Your Eyes" and "Wildside". Opinions were very mixed about the album among fans and critics. Some called it a mile stone in musical growth for the band, others claimed it was a last-ditch effort by the band to become more commercial and popular on the Irish airwaves. However, the strength of the songs proved themselves and became live favourites instantly on the tours that followed. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Forward (Turn Album)
''Forward'' was the second album from Turn, a Meath-based indie rock band. Their first album had seen a large interest from Ireland and the UK but it seemed to die away as quickly as it rose due to poor marketing and promotion from Infectious Records. The band were dropped from Infectious Records and created Nurture Records in order to release music. After this, the band struggled to finance and produce 2001's '' In Position EP'', but the EP managed to secure a loyal fan base in Ireland and constant touring helped the band get back on their feet and start recording ''Forward'' in 2002. However, tragedy again struck the band when original bass player Gavin Fox left to join Idlewild. The album was finished in early 2003 and released to rave reviews and strong sales, entering the Irish charts at No. 8. The album is considered Turn's strongest of their catalogue and showed a massive musical growth from their debut, ''Antisocial''. Track listing # You Got Style (5:11) # Dumb As ...

Turn (band)
Turn are an Irish band.

Their debut album, ''Antisocial'', soon followed and Turn looked to be on their way to stardom. Infectious, however, were not too interested in releasing any singles from the album and Turn soon found themselves in record company limbo once again. With their schedule clear, Turn hit the road again playing gigs to get funds for more recording. The ''In Position EP'' was the fruit of these labours, a six track snapshot on their own ''Nurture'' label in March 2002 which was a taster of what was to come. ...
