December Cleanin’ Out My Closet – Part 2 – Turn, Turn, Turn

      The end-of-year posting of blogworthy songs continues, but now has a focus on bands with the term “turn” in their band name. Below are 2025 releases that we recommend.

     Flipturn is a Florida-based quartet comprising Dillon Basse (lead vocals), Tristan Duncan (guitars), Madeline Jarman (bass guitar), Mitch Fountain (guitars, synthesizers), and Devon VonBalson (percussion). In early 2025, they released the album “Burnout Days.”

     Turnstile is a Baltimore band formed of Brendan Yates (vocals), Pat McCrory (guitar) Meg Mills (guitar), Franz Lyons (bass), and Daniel Fang (drums). While it’s not true for all of their music, “I Care” has a feel of The Police.
