Turnover with Balance and Composure & Horse Jumper of Love

Welcome back, friends. Turnover’s Peripheral Vision 10-Year Anniversary Tour made a stop at House of Blues in Houston, TX on May 19th, 2025- a sold-out celebration of an album that helped define a generation of dreamers, loners, and lovers of emotional indie rock.

All the way from Boston, Horse Jumper of Love opened the night with a mellow set. Their dreamy minimalism was the perfect intro to the evening. Songs like “Snow Angel” and “Today’s Iconoclast” rang gently across the venue, setting a tone that was both introspective and immersive. Their quiet intensity proving once again that less really is more.

Next up we have Balance and Composure, and to say they delivered would be an understatement. Back from a hiatus and playing like they never left, the band tore through their set with raw energy and heart. I may be a bit biased as B&C are a personal favorite, but they absolutely crushed. They showcased tracks from their newest album With You in Spirit, including “Cross to Bear” and “Any Means”, both of which sounded even better live. Still, it was their older material like “Tiny Raindrop” and “Back of Your Head” that sparked the loudest singalongs and the deepest nostalgia. If this set was any indication, they’re more than ready to headline stages of their own again soon (fingers crossed, Houston’s waiting).

When Turnover finally took the stage, the crowd was already buzzing with anticipation & they didn’t waste a second. Opening with “Cutting My Fingers Off”, they launched into Peripheral Vision from front to back, just as promised. Every song was met with raw emotion. “Take My Head” was explosive, while “Dizzy On the Comedown” and “Diazepam” tugged heartstrings so hard I spotted more than a few tears.

Released in May 2015, Peripheral Vision marked a major shift for Turnover, from pop-punk roots to lush, reverb-drenched dream rock. A decade later, it’s clear that this record didn’t just hold up, it became a formative soundtrack for many. People weren’t just singing, they were reliving. The band even surprised the crowd with two unreleased songs, a glimpse into the future after a night spent honoring the past.

From the opening chords to the final encore, this show was more than a concert, it was a time capsule and a reminder of music’s power to shape identity and emotion. Turnover gave us Peripheral Vision ten years ago, and it’s still healing hearts and filling rooms today.

Thank you Houston, for showing up and showing out.

Until next time.
