About Turnover

Turnover formed in Virginia Beach, Virginia in 2009. Led by vocalist and guitarist Austin Getz, the band began in the pop-punk and emo scene before undertaking a notable stylistic shift toward atmospheric indie rock and dream pop. They have recorded for Run for Cover Records, and their 2015 album Peripheral Vision is widely regarded as a touchstone of the 2010s emo-adjacent dream pop sound.

Sound and style

Turnover's mature sound blends indie rock, dream pop, and shoegaze-influenced textures, marked by reverb-laden guitars, gentle melodies, and introspective vocals. Their evolution from punchy emo to lush, hazy soundscapes is frequently cited as one of the more striking stylistic transformations in the modern emo and indie scene.
