History
A Turning Day started in 2011 by Ezra Fraiser. Their sound was similar to bands such as Asking Alexandria, or Of Mice and Men. After releasing their first EP titled “Girls Like You,” they made their first music video for their song titled “She looks like she’s smuggling watermelons.” Shortly after this, the band parted ways with their founding member and changed their name to A Turning Day. At this point the band decided to take a more heavy approach to their instrumentals by using seven string guitars drop tuned to A. After this they recorded another EP titled “This Won’t be the End” in 2013 under the record label called “Brutal Tooth Records”. They are not signed to this label anymore. Later on in the same year they released a new single titled “Broken Scene” in 2014. through Newland Recordings. A Turning Day has shared the stage with many popular bands such as Alesana, TesseracT, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Scale the Summit, and Blood of the Martyrs. They have been on one tour across the Eastern USA in 2014. Shortly after this the band parted ways with their bassist Mark Mondragon for reasons unsaid.

Influences
At first, A Turning Day took their influences from metalcore bands such as Of Mice and Men, Motionless in White, and Asking Alexandria but as they progressed on their music took a more heavy and progressive metal approach with influences from bands such as Like Moths to Flames and Volumes.
