The Color Turning was an American indie rock band from Los Angeles, California, signed to Scott Weiland's Softdrive Records. The final line-up was Steve Scavo (vocals/guitar), David Del Fonzo (guitar/piano), Jason Abraham (bass guitar) and Garet Powell (drums). They released one full length album, Good Hands Bad Blood (2009), and three EPs, Our Currency Is Time (2002), Antidote (2005) and Me Versus Me (2009).
History[edit]
The band's first EP, Our Currency Is Time, released in mid-2002, was met with great critical and listener response.[1] Playing small cafe shows and to larger crowds in the parking lot of the Vans Warped Tour, they built up a local and internet following.[2] After the 2005 release of their Antidote EP, Softdrive Record's Scott Weiland invited them to his Burbank studio.
Emotional Punk listed The Color Turning's Good Hands Bad Blood as one of the "Most Anticipated Albums of 2009".[3] The album was produced by Scott Weiland's business partner, the guitarist and Softdrive Records vice president,Doug Grean. Good Hands Bad Blood was initially scheduled for a June release date, but was rescheduled for an August 4, 2009, release. To satisfy fans until the new release date, the band released its third EP, Me Versus Me, in late spring 2009. It included three songs, their first single "Me Versus Me" and two B-sides from the LP recording sessions.[4] The band toured the western United States in the time leading up to the launch of the album, culminating in a CD release show on August 6, 2009. The album received positive response from critics and fans alike.[5] It contains 11 tracks, with the digital release adding a bonus track, "Passenger".[6]
