Jeff Walsh started Santa Clara, California-based Turn Records to help good local underground bands find their audience.
Bunkbed
This young Bay Area quintet's low-key, lonesome indie rock wanders from deep sad melancholy to ominous claustrophobia while coating each song in a patina of nostalgia. It's music that makes you feel like you've just had a good cry.
CAndiES
Exhilarating experimental turbulence out of the fertile new indie rock pastures of Northern Italy. CAndiES' remarkably broad sound weaves together sloppy, distorted punk, angular, complex post-punk, and experimental ambient rock -- yeah, with strings and bells and horns and stuff. An exciting new band.
The Contrail
The Contrail's upbeat, lo-fi indie pop is full of heady melodies and dynamic emotions
sure to quicken your pulse and set your feet tapping.
The Dying Californian
Formerly known as Nuzzle, The Dying Californian seeks redefinition with a more mature artistic direction that merges sparse country with slow indie pop.
