I always thought they were a decent band that had potential. Is this worth checking out?

I like the chorus to Early Retirement but the whole, "GET BENT" and "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME, I QUIIIT" parts are soooooo fucking bad. Handguns are literally every cliche in the book when it comes to pop punk and then some.

@andcas, Katy perry is catchy but does that make her good?

Turnover is great. I saw them at a basement show a couple of months ago with Citizen and Light Years. They were all fab

Because handguns are smaller and therefore more portable, they are better for stealth missions and whenever a concealed weapon is necessary.....dingus.

"i've had a link for this in my inbox for ages but it's so mediocre it hurts" Don't let the guns hurt you Adam.



"I love the disclaimer." It had to be pun... I mean, done.



"yeah, I bet this sucks. I could make 12 recs in there too, Davey" I was gonna go a few more, but I think it's pretty obvious what the band sounds like.



"This isn't bad. I feel like "Song About You" is the catchiest" Strangely enough, that track did absolutely nothing for me initially... But it did grow on me.



"not a very good band but don't bite your tongue had a few catchy songs. i heard "early retirement" from this and hated it. prob won't be listening" I don't mind them actually, but this is disappointing. 'Early Retirement' is not indicative of the album, but chances are you won't like this a great deal Perry.

"Daveyboy, have you even heard Turnover?" never heard of them, let alone heard them. Listed.



"I always thought they were a decent band that had potential. Is this worth checking out?" Agree. Unfortunately, I don't think they have capitalized on their potential here. Still worth checking out, if not worth investing lots of your time & $$$.



"I like the chorus to Early Retirement but the whole, "GET BENT" and "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME, I QUIIIT" parts are soooooo fucking bad. Handguns are literally every cliche in the book when it comes to pop punk and then some." Perfectly said. I actually like the fun vibe of the song, along with the quick verses as well.



"but it's so fucking catchy. you guys have no soul." But that's my issue andcas. I feel that there EP tracks are catchier (especially the 3 I cited in the review).



"Because handguns are smaller and therefore more portable, they are better for stealth missions and whenever a concealed weapon is necessary." I knew that disclaimer would be required.

Cliches are over-rated... Or should that be under-rated... Or less relevant... Arghhh, you know what I mean. This is especially the case with pop-punk.



I don't think that's necessarily the issue here as very few pop-punks are going to be overly original these days. Seriously, give me 10-12 super catchy songs that sound like an amalgam of past super catchy songs (preferably not from the same past band) & I'll rate it highly.



"The summary is great" Thanks, but it's a redundant comment... All my summaries are great. ;-)

'but it's so fucking catchy. you guys have no soul.'

One Direction's music is catchy, Call Me Maybe is Catchy, Bangarang is catchy, ...

wake-up call my friend

catchy music is often oversimplified (and thus BAD) because they want it to be as catchy as possible
