Turn Off The Sun

Turn of the Sun

Turn off the Sun are solid, tight and masters of their music. If you need great driving music from a band that is grounded and has solidarity to their tunes then look no further.

There’s something about “Weekend in Prague” that get’s my head nodding whilst I’m listening to it. Some would say it’s because I’m getting old… well I’m 35, but never the less I still know great music when I hear it, and this is great music. I always like to try and find familiar ground with songs and to me Turn off the Sun sound like Greenday meets Snow Patrol.

When listening to “Sirens” I can hear a Kings of Leon influence to the music. Andy Crawfords vocals are rounded and bold yet delicate where they need to be. He really knows how to deliver his message with vigour and passion.

“Bonfires” differs slightly from the two previous songs in that it starts more mellow, however we get to verse two and BANG, we’re rocking again. Great consistency in their music and according to Andy they should be recording some new material soon which I can’t wait to hear.

These songs really capture the live feel to their music and additionally there is a great music video for “Weekend in Prague” on their MySpace page. Great music and I would wager live they’re something else :)
