The Turns

About Me

The Turns are a 5 piece indie-rock band situated around Mid-Ulster, Northern Ireland. The band formed in February 2006 with each of the members meeting in school/college and making a decision to take their musical interest further. The sound represents a reflection of different musical genres, and the music produced is a combination of our influences. With more gigging to take place and a new EP on the way in early 2009, the future looks bright for The Turns. MyGen Profile Generator
