ATP! Album Review: Turnover – Magnolia

Turnover has been making an impressive debut. Even with only one EP and a split with Citizen under their belt, the Virginia Beach quintet has proven to the pop-punk community that they can play. Their awaited full-length Magnolia has been viewed as a more “mature” record compared to their EP. Its usually strange when bands make shifts in sound, but it seems that Turnover are approaching that challenge head-on.

The LP opens with 'Shiver;' Turnover didn’t really waste any time with epic openings or beginning monologues. Instead you jump right in to Magnolia and are quickly surprised by the vocals. Austin Getz puts you right in to those east coast kind of cold nights as he longs for someone to hold, like the many of us listening.

'Most of the Time' is one of the few times on the album we hear any kind of the old Turnover that was on their EP. It’s the kind of song you throw your fist up and yell back at the singer. Fast drums and guitars correspond perfectly with Getz’s vocals and define the song. This song is almost a continuation of that search for someone we found in 'Shiver.'

ATP! Album Review: Basement - Colourmeinkindness

England is a place that appears to enjoy its dreary image, with the stereotype of grey attitudes and greyer skies usually accurately describing the mood most comfortable for the majority of its inhabitants. It is an attitude inevitable to a country which manages to rain all the times it shouldn’t, as well as when it should. It is exactly the place from which you would expect to find one of its most exciting current acts, a band that has enjoyed success across the Atlantic as well as on home soil, decide to call it a day almost immediately after releasing their most accomplished record to date.
