1) Turning Point is an influential straight edge hardcore band from New Jersey, active from 1988 to 1991. Their early releases had the sound of youth crew, with lyrics relating to social issues or being straight edge. The later material strayed away from their previous youth crew style to take on a more emo, melodic and introspective sound. Lead singer Skip Candelori and guitarist Jay Laughlin previously formed Moorestown, New Jersey-based Pointless. Ken Flavell, drums, originally played drums with brother Chris Flavell in the early southern New Jersey hardcore band, Failsafe. Nick Greif, bass, previously played bass in the late 80's straight-edge hardcore band, Awareness. Candelori died in 2002 of an accidental drug overdose.
