![]() Vinnie Caruana seemed to be having a great time too, stopping only to make a few jokes between songs. Everyone else’s loss, though, as they were on top form. However, it was interesting that the crowd seemed to thin out loads during the band’s set. It was striking just how many hits they have, songs like “Walking on Glass”, “Hand Grenade” and just about anything from Forty Hour Train Back to Penn had the entire crowd shouting the lyrics back to them. Speaking of stage presence, over on the pop-punk stage, early 2000s heroes The Movielife provided one of the funnest sets of the day – although it was a great shame that they clashed with The Bronx. They have a talent for commanding a stage and crowd, though. Their brand of grunge-y pop-punk was certainly popular, and while a couple of songs from Everybody is Going To Heaven were played, it was surprising that they focused on older material. Starting off with “The Summer” and “Sleep”, these two tracks from their hugely popular record Youth immediately got them off to a great start, with the majority of the crowd shouting the words back to them. A good set, but could be infinitely more interesting.Ĭitizen on the Signature Brew stage managed to draw probably the biggest outdoor crowd we’d seen so far. All band members seemed to stand perfectly in one spot throughout the set, bringing little to no stage presence at all. Although, live, it was much of a muchness. The songs from that record are well-crafted and show off the band’s knack for writing riffs and choruses. Turnover’s widely popular Peripheral Vision was showcased, almost in full, making up 90% of their set. His classic sense of dry humour and Avalanche songs like “Brooklyn Dodgers” and “Green Eyes” provided a nice nostalgic singalong early on. Over on the acoustic stage Vinnie Caruana was playing a set of I Am the Avalanche songs to precede the Movielife’s set later that evening. Songs like “Gravity/Grace” and “Bicycles for Afghanistan” were just made for singalongs. Starting off with “XXXX (The First Thousand Years of Solitude)” and a The Troubled Stateside-heavy set was incredible to witness as they jumped around the stage, and were incredibly musically tight. Their melodic hardcore was a welcome surprise, since they don’t play too regularly following their reunion a few years back. Album DescriptionCrime in Stereo were a rare treat, playing on the Signature Brew stage early on. See more Your browser does not support the audio element. Turnover have expanded their range with Peripheral Vision, and this new direction agrees with them. ![]() Most of the songs like "Cutting My Fingers Off" and "Like Slow Disappearing" ride a midtempo wave of understated, late-summer melancholic pop, stripping away much of the angst and putting the focus on their improved and far more subtle songcraft. Standout track "Humming" is a melodic, sundazed gem full of rich harmonies and thoughtful, chiming riffs. Working again with producer Will Yip (Title Fight, Circa Survive), Turnover have dialed down the distortion and attitude in favor of a highly textural dream pop/shoegaze-inspired sound. While their 2013 debut album, Magnolia, showed a more brooding, melodic side, there was little to indicate the new direction they would take on their surprising 2015 follow-up, Peripheral Vision. Virginia Beach quartet Turnover originally came out of the pop-punk scene, crafting a heavy, emo-inspired EP in 2011 and signing with Boston indie Run for Cover Records shortly afterward. ![]() Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. ![]()
