The Hot Press Newsdesk

Turn have announced a one off gig at Whelan's on October 24th.

Doors open at 8.00pm, and since the place will probably be jammers by 8.01pm, a choice position in the queue is recommended.

The trio have been in the studio for the past while laying down material for their upcoming LP. "Making this album has been the most enjoyable recording experience we have ever had," said frontman Ollie Cole, speaking on the band's website. "[We are] gonna take a break from the studio for a bit, do the gig in Whelan's and then go into a new studio to mix the album. That's the plan."

In other Turn news, 2FM will be airing a recording of the band's Witnness set last July, on November 3 at 10pm. Support slots on The Frames' tour have also been confirmed.

Dates supporting The Frames are as follows:

10th November - Elmwood Hall, Belfast

16th November - The Stardust, Derry

17th November - An Grianan Theatre, Donegal

18th November - Hawkswell Theatre, Sligo

20th November - UL Concert Hall, Limerick

21st November - Glór Irish Music Centre, Ennis

23rd November - South, Tramore

24th November - The Everyman Theatre, Cork

30th November - Vicar Street, Dublin

Stop

The first thing that strikes you about ‘Stop’ is its complete lack of balls. There was a time when Turn were well on their way to becoming the best rock band this country has produced since Whipping Boy. However, the days of tracks like ‘Face Down’ and ‘Beeswax’ are seemingly over. Given the snip, ‘Stop’ is a slice of radio friendly day-time pop very much in the vein of Snow Patrol. There’s even East 17-style Christmas glistenings at the track’s close. Far from their best work.

Turn

It’s their safest record to date, yet also their most rounded with Cole delivering an unfaltering run of fine songs that suit the poppy presentation down to the ground.
