Turnover is an American rock band from Virginia Beach, Virginia. Formed in 2009, the band is signed with the Run for Cover Records label. Turnover has released five albums, two EPs and two singles.

History

Turnover began in 2009, originally consisting of vocalist Austin Getz, rhythm guitarist/backing vocalist Kyle Kojan, lead guitarist Alex Dimaiuat, bassist Danny Dempsey and drummer Casey Getz. In 2011, the group released their debut E.P. Turnover on Broken Rim Records. In 2012, they released a split single with Citizen, and signed to Run for Cover Records. In December 2011 and January 2012, the band went on a winter tour with True Things. In 2012, the band went on a summer tour with Citizen and Light Years. Towards the end of 2012, Dimaiuat left the group. Shortly afterwards, Austin Getz began playing rhythm guitar in the group, moving Kojan to lead guitar and converting the quintet into a four-piece. In 2013, the band released their debut album Magnolia. Shortly afterwards, Kojan left the group. He was replaced by Eric Soucy, who officially became the band's new lead guitarist the following year.

Soon after their summer tour, the band went on a seven date tour in August with Young Statues and PJ Bond. In June 2013, the band went on a co-headlining tour with Koji, supported by Ivy League, and Have Mercy. In February 2014, the band went on an east coast tour with Turnstile, Diamond Youth, Angel Dust, and Blind Justice. In March 2014, the band went on tour with I Am the Avalanche, The Swellers, and Diamond Youth. In May 2014, the band went on two UK tours. One tour was with I Am the Avalanche, Major League, and Moose Blood. The other tour was with Major League and Nai Harvest. In fall of 2014, the band went on a tour with Light Years and Malfunction. Also in 2014, the band released their sophomore E.P. Blue Dream.

The band went on a 25-date tour in March and April 2015, supporting New Found Glory. In March 2015, the band announced plans to release their second studio album, titled Peripheral Vision in May via Run For Cover. The album's lead single, "Cutting My Fingers Off", came out on March 16, 2015. The album was released on May 4, 2015. The album marked a shift in sound from the band's previous work, being described as dream pop rather than Pop Punk. In 2016, the group released the single Humblest Pleasures, and continued to tour in support of Peripheral Vision.

The band's third album, Good Nature, was announced for an August 2017 release. The lead single, "Super Natural," was released to YouTube and streaming services on June 21. The album was again produced by Yip and released on Run for Cover. Good Nature would prove to be the group's last release with Soucy, who was dismissed from the group shortly prior to the album's release following allegations of emotional abuse. He was replaced by touring guitarist Nick Rayfield.

In 2019, Austin Getz began playing keyboards in the group, and the band recruited touring rhythm guitarist Shane Moran (formerly of Title Fight), making them a live five-piece for the first time since 2012. That same year, the band released their fourth studio album, Altogether.

In 2022, the band released their fifth studio album, Myself in the Way. Rayfield was inducted as a full-time member of the band that same year.

On December 10, 2024, Turnover announced a 2025 tour with dates in the US and England to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Peripheral Vision, planning to perform the album in full for the first time.

Musical style

According to AllMusic, Turnover outgrew their roots in emo and punk rock and evolved their style into "a more introspective sound that incorporated the lushness of dream pop and the tender melodies of indie pop".

Magnolia has been categorized as emo and pop punk. Peripheral Vision has been categorized as indie rock, soft grunge and dream pop.
