I once had a boyfriend that realised he was
gay after going to a Turn gig and seeing
Gavin the bass player. As you can imagine,
tonight I've got issues.
But two seconds into "Beretta"
and they've already slipped my mind. Suited
and booted with impressive style, the Turn
lady and gents deliver their noise assault
with more energy than a Duracell bunny with
attention deficit disorder. The genius of
"Never Needed You" secures its
place as the ultimate anthem for bedroom-mirror
rock stars the world over. And the manic
beauty of "Beeswax" manages to
be menacing and lovable at once, and sees
singer Ollie deliver his finest Adam-Ant-in-a-super-strop
vocals.
With the crowd merrily thrashing every
sound,
it certainly won't be long before Turn's
squadrons of supporters are as easily
recognisable
as the Manic Street Preachers and Oasis.
Side-stepping every rock cliché but
fulfilling
every rock dream. Turn are the band
destined
to fill stadiums but stay flawless.
And if
a couple of hearts get broken along
the way,
it'll be well worth it.
4.5/5
