About Me


Tough dudes and smooth moves...

The Turn It Ups are a low-energy jam rock band from Burlington, Ontario. With influences ranging from Rock and Roll, to 80's Metal, to Phish, their style speaks for itself. Their music, while poppy and catchy, is also driving, energetic and fun. When The Turn It Ups hit the stage their hard work and energy is reflected through the crowd's reaction and excitement toward their music.

The band coalesced in the summer of 2001. They fine-tuned their sound for six months before exploding onto the local music scene. Since then they have been playing regularly throughout Ontario, having rocked hundreds of shows and sold out of their self released EPs.

Last fall The Turn It Ups hit the studio with producer Brian Moncarz (Pilate, The Junction) and are now releasing their new CD Sweetness in Stereo.
