flipturn

Flipturn (stylized in all lowercase) is an American indie rock band from Fernandina Beach, Florida formed in 2015. The band consists of founding members Dillon Basse (vocals), Tristan Duncan (guitar) and Madeline Jarman (bass) who founded the band as high school seniors. After their college years at the University of Florida, they picked up guitarist and synthesizer player Mitch Fountain, and drummer Devon VonBalson. Flipturn gained traction in 2018 with their EP Citrona and its single "August". The band signed to Dualtone Records in June 2022. They released their debut album Shadowglow in August 2022, which received positive reception. The album release was followed by a tour through the United States in late 2022 into 2023 and the festival lineups of Lollapalooza, Governor’s Ball, Bonnaroo, Shaky Knees, and SXSW. The band's second studio album, Burnout Days, was released in January 2025. Starting in March 2022, Flipturn released five singles – "Playground", double single "Halfway" / "Brooklyn Baby", "Whales", and "Space Cowboy" – leading up to their debut album Shadowglow's release in August. In November 2023, the band announced its Something More Tour due to take place in Spring 2024, with support from fellow indie rock band Richy Mitch and the Coal Miners. On September 26, 2024, the band released the single "Rodeo Clown" along with the announcement of their sophomore album Burnout Days, to be released on January 24, 2025. Following "Rodeo Clown", two more singles – "Juno" and "Sunlight" – were released in anticipation of Burnout Days.
