On The Turn is the second and final album by Irish heavy-metal outfit Kerbdog. It was recorded in Los Angeles in 1996 and was produced by GGGarth who had previously worked with Rage Against the Machine. Unfortunately, the album was delayed by almost a year and never sold in great enough quantities to satisfy the record label, reaching number 64 in the UK Albums Chart.[2] Kerbdog were dropped by Mercury and their back catalog was deleted shortly thereafter. The band split in 1998, reforming for a reunion in 2005. Since then the band has continued to perform occasional one-off shows. Artists such as Biffy Clyro, Cars on Fire, Frank Turner, Inme, and many others have all said this album had a major influence on their music. Biffy Clyro also stated that they chose GGGarth to produce their last two albums based on his work with Kerbdog. Biffy Clyro's lead singer, Simon Neil, has been quoted as saying that On the Turn 'is a beautiful, beautiful thing'.
