Twelve Hour Turn was a vital player within the post-hardcore scene that rose to prominence in the late 1990s, especially noted for their emotional intensity and complex arrangements. Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, the band was known for a unique blend of hardcore punk and emo, augmented by the impassioned delivery and convulsive energy that defined their sound.

Their discography showcases a band that evolved while staying true to their DIY ethos and dedication to crafting poignant, gritty music. The album "The Victory of Flight," released in 1999, is often celebrated as a cornerstone of their career, delivering a raw yet intricate sound that resonated with fans of the genre. Twelve Hour Turn demonstrated versatility through releases such as the "Bend Break Spill EP" and the confrontational "Perfect Progress, Perfect Destruction." They also collaborated with other artists, evidenced by their work in "Split," which displayed their ability to seamlessly meld their sound with others while maintaining their distinctive edge. The "Live at WNYU 98" recording captures the band’s live essence, a testament to their on-stage presence and connection with their audience. Despite being disbanded, Twelve Hour Turn’s music continues to be a touchstone for aficionados of the chaotic, emotive hardcore that marked the late '90s and early '00s.
