There's something unique about the sound of many bands - Catatonia, The Charlatans and Reef to name but three. Irish three-piece Turn, though, seem to have none of this uniqueness - or at least seem to display very little of it on debut offering Antisocial. This is not necessarily a bad thing; the album contains some very listenable tracks, with styles ranging from melodic, bouncy surfer rock-pop on Queen Of My Heart to what one presumes would be thrash if the band grew their hair and stopped wearing suits.

Every track, though, has a common feature - it causes the listener to say to him/herself, 'Now where have I heard this before?' Standout track Antisocial recalls Teenage Fanclub, but there's no secret as to who this band admires the most. They're heading out on tour with them imminently, they thank them in their sleeve (twice) and that's no surprise because almost every track on the album reminds one of Idlewild at some point. Little Discourage, When I Argue I See Shapes, Actually It's Darkness and others are all recalled at various times during Antisocial.

Idlewild are a good band, make no mistake about it. But it's just like taking your entire character from all your friends in general and one in particular, and having nothing of your own to offer - a little bit antisocial, really. Oh, and no band can hope to maintain credibility when they name a track on their album after their bassist and his girlfriend.
