Our Turn - San Francisco Hardcore

About Me


Through many serendipitous meetings and occurences, four kids that loved hardcore laid the groundwork for a band in an SFSU dorm room.

After going through many bad and cheesy band names, they settled on a name which reflected an attitude of progressive thinking, non-violence, and respect for the rich history of hardcore punk.
They recorded a 7 song demo (which was released on cassette) at the now legendary Dutch Oven in Pleasanton.
With the help and hype of folks such as Craigums , The First Step , Sean Youngblood, Joe Onlife, and MANY, MANY MORE, the O-Tizzle has been able to play a gang of great local shows, tour the East Coast, the Southwest, play a few awesome hardcore fests, and release a 7" version of their Step Aside demo as well as a 7"(Catch Your Breath) with Youngblood Records .
Sorry, we broke up...
Our Turn played its last show on April 10, 2005 at the 418 Front St. Project in Santa Cruz, CA. It was an awesome show. The former members of Our Turn are still involved in the scene in various ways, so if you see any of us around please don't hesitate to say wassup.A huge thank you to everyone who has given us support.
STAY ON POINT!!!
