1. Backstory:
Unripe Turn was born in the bustling music scene of Austin, Texas, in 2015. The four band members, all university students at the time, bonded over their shared love of unconventional music styles and their collective frustration over the often predictable nature of the music industry. They decided to form a band and make the kind of music they wanted to hear — something that challenged the norms, pushing boundaries, and intentionally staying undercooked, hence the name Unripe Turn.
In their early days, they played in college festivals and local bars, slowly building a loyal fan base with their unique sound. Their big break came when they were spotted by a talent scout at the famous SXSW Festival in 2017. Since then, Unripe Turn has been on an upward trajectory, gaining national attention and touring across the country. Despite their success, the band members have stayed true to their roots, keeping their music raw, honest and deliberately unpolished.
2. Music Genre:

The music’s our heartbeat, the rhythm to our rhyme,

We are the dreamers, the misfits, the believers,
