![]() ![]() Frequent tempo shifts and a consistently manic pace helped demonstrate each member’s mastery of their instrument. Elliot Babin is an absolute force of nature on the drums, delivering fill after killer fill while keeping the band together as they chugged and soloed away. This was greeted by huge cheers and probably more than a few tears.Įverything about Touché Amoré’s set was on-point. About halfway through the set, Bohm delivered a short “personal note” on the importance of playing in Perth, with their last show on our shores being the first after the death of his mother (the topic of their exceptional latest record Stage Four, one of our albums of the year in 2016). Vocalist Jeremy Bohm frequently handed the microphone to fans to scream lyrics into, while occasionally embracing or grasping the hands of ecstatic viewers which was exactly as cathartic as you’d imagine. Just as you’d expect, Touché’s set was an energised and formidable display of expert musicianship, with a palpable bond between the audience and performers. Filled with slick guitar riffs and a tight rhythm section, the group played largely from their latest album (2015’s excellent Peripheral Vision), plus treating the audience to new single “Super Natural”, earning a warm reception from an appreciative audience.Įntering on stage to the sounds of Daniel Johnston of all people (I think), Touché Amoré were immediately firing on all cylinders, with “Flowers and You”, “~” and “New Halloween” immaculately setting the stage for what was to come. Following were Turnover, whose melodic soundscapes were the perfect balm for the heavier acts they were sandwiched between. Bringing the Violent Soho and Love Junkies-esque vibes to the opening roster (the latter of whom was championed by one member via t-shirt), the band performed well as a unit and delivered an energised set that captivated me enough to check out their catalogue (note: it’s good). ![]() Glass Wave ensured the night got off to a good start. ![]() The night promised a diverse line-up, with 90s grunge courtesy of local lads Glass Wave, indie rock from Turnover, and post-hardcore courtesy of the inimitable headliners Touché Amoré.

Peripheral Vision solidifies the idea that Turnover is a band with its finger on the pulse of its generation: growing and learning with every release, but never failing to provide a relatable, cathartic experience for anyone listening. Songs like “Hello Euphoria” and “Like Slow Disappearing” highlight the new calmer, more subdued approach to songwriting, matched by Austin Getz’s somber, confessional lyrics that echo throughout songs as if his words were haunting every measure. Working again with Magnolia producer Will Yip (Title Fight, Circa Survive), Turnover’s latest record shows a band maturing to create their best effort: an ethereal, reverb-drenched soundscape blending elements of hazy dream pop and the delicate emo rock of yesteryear. The emotional honesty poured out over a number of anthemic releases has been a proven formula of success for the band, but on their sophomore LP Peripheral Vision, the band treads into deeper water. Virginia Beach’s Turnover has never been a band afraid of telling the truth. The first three singles from TURNOVER‘s new record “Peripheral Vision” are streaming below.
