The Sinister Turns provide everything from dramatic piano ballads to bubblegum indie power pop, to literate space rock, to esoteric pseudohip hiphopscotch shoegaze, to fun with instruments that sometimes are in harmony with each other. Based out of Harvard University, this band hopes to someday burst the bubble. In the meantime, you'll never know when the set will take a sinister turn...

How very kind of you. We all like to think that we're well versed in the art of love and dancing so, thanks for picking up on that. We're down to play anwhere anytime but somewhere in the NE (preferably Boston) would be quite ideal. Let us know when you might be free and let's set something up! XoXo Snakes
no, YOU have the most beautiful songs and an amazing voice. seriously, what a compliment coming from susan putnins! thank you so much. i just finished recording that demo this week at my friends house so now i am going to try to get some shows in tokyo! wish me luck!
OH! And as a malacologist/conchologist, I'd just like to say your name reminds me of some of the most remarkable gastropods that have their aperture on the left side of their shell. It's quite the compliment.
damn, you're great! a great band with a great sound. i honestly love your vocals, i wish you lived closer to chicago so we could collaborate on something.
i was just in boston a few months ago, staying in cambridge. and i didn't have much to do. it was a wedding-type thing.
anyway, the point is that i'm quite proud of you, and also we both happen to release things using that copyleft symbol, so we have a lot in common. :)
My pleasure. Heard "The Last Time" through some music blog (wish I could remember which to give it proper credit) and was an instant fan. All subsequent songs I've heard have more than lived up to that first golden impression. Can't wait for albums and live shows (come to southern California please!)
Hiya, I have released a CD of Oh! Custer and it is limited to 200 copies and contains 11 songs. I wanted to let you know since you had a left a nice comment about their music before on the Series Two Myspace. If you are interested in obtaining their record, the release details are on the page.

Hi... We're writing this message to you only to tell you that A) We have two new tracks up and B) We're now selling a full LP (it's pretty cheap which is nice). We just wanted to tell you what's new with us (if you even cared to know that is) but if you're actually intrigued or just laughing and rolling your eyes at us... either way, have a most lovely day
