Heavily influenced by 60’s and 70’s pop, modern electronic music, and the blue-collar melancholy of Green Bay’s industrial surroundings, Turn Blue is a band more interested in conveying emotion through complex melody and deceptively minimal soundscapes than conveying a meaning or message through played-out lyrical ideas. For fans of Elliott Smith, Wilco and Surf’s Up era Beach Boys.

- St. Joseph
- Way Out?
- Toothless Town
- Stage Fright
- ….Burned?
In 2008, Suicide Bill and The Liquors’ “A Little Bit….Burned?” is definitely worth five bucks. Never critically acclaimed, but often ashamed, the boys sometimes rock and sometimes acoustic through Bill’s best collection of songs. Think part 80’s Minneapolis, part 70’s stadium, and part modern-day-quiet-complaining. 16 growing older, hate the day-job, lonely, unsure anthems. A Suicidally Powerful Equation…..
