About Turnstile

Emerging from Baltimore, Maryland, Turnstile have rapidly ascended to become a formidable force in the contemporary music scene. Since their formation in 2010, the band has been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of hardcore punk, infusing their sound with elements of alternative rock, melodic hardcore, and even a touch of psychedelia. Their unique blend of aggression and introspection has resonated with a broad audience, earning them critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. Early EPs like “Pressure to Succeed” (2011) and “Step Down Young Bullies” (2013) showcased their potent energy and uncompromising attitude, quickly establishing them as a band to watch.

Their debut full-length album, “Non-stop Feeling” (2016), further solidified their sonic identity, delivering a relentless barrage of anthemic riffs and impassioned vocals. However, it was their 2021 masterpiece, “Glow On,” that truly propelled them into the global spotlight. This critically lauded album saw Turnstile embracing a more expansive and experimental approach, incorporating shimmering synthesizers, groovier rhythms, and guest appearances from artists like Blood Orange. Tracks such as the infectious and highly popular “Mystery”, the driving “Holiday”, and the anthemic “BLACKOUT” became instant fan favourites, demonstrating their remarkable ability to craft songs that are both mosh-pit ready and deeply introspective. Their live performances are renowned for their boundless energy, with frontman Brendan Yates often venturing into the crowd, fostering an unparalleled connection with the audience.
