About
From the moment they hit the ground a decade ago, TURNSTILE have never stopped moving forward -- and they're sure as hell not about to look back. The Baltimore band, comprised of singer Brendan Yates, guitarists Brady Ebert and Pat McCrory, bassist Franz Lyons, and drummer Daniel Fang, immediately distinguished themselves from the pack with their infectious, aggressive punk fusion; their welcoming, satisfying live shows; and most importantly, their willingness to experiment, as seen by the steady evolution from their early demos to 2018's Roadrunner ambitious debut Time & Space, the latter of which earned renown from The New York Times, NPR, The FADER, and others. The only constant in the TURNSTILE universe, aside from love, is progression.
Having laid the foundations for their new album, GLOW ON, in the before times of summer 2019, the band took quarantine and the resultant tour cancellations as an opportunity to buckle down and devote their full and undivided attention to the album-making process. As Yates puts it, the stars aligned: "It turned off any potential for us to get distracted by traveling, and let us focus on these ideas we had." Finding a studio housed inside a barn, tucked away in an isolated corner of rural Tennessee, only affirmed their aims: creating a self-contained universe of pure, united, unfiltered energy created entirely on their own terms, sustained as always by empathy and spirit.
If Time & Space marked the sound of TURNSTILE charting new ground for hardcore, expanding stylistic boundaries and celebrating new possibilities, then GLOW ON is that utopic vision fully realized; 15 tracks devoid of boundaries, only abundant imagination, heart, and grooves plucked from all corners of the musical spectrum. Hardcore remains the heart of TURNSTILE's sound -- songs like "BLACKOUT" and "T.L.C. (TURNSTILE LOVE CONNECTION)" are guaranteed to stir up that heavy energy -- but it moves to a more alien pulse this time around, an incessant arrhythmia that consistently keeps you guessing minute to minute, track to track.
In this album's mixtape-esque flow, each song offers its own unique, ephemeral take on sensory overload -- and every listen brings something new. Less a song than a two-minute roller coaster ride, "DON'T PLAY" veers from a fast and manic intro to a top-heavy, ultra-rhythmic verse, followed by an anxious chorus draped in distorted vocal effects and pirouetting piano leads, and then back again. "FLY AGAIN" and "NEW HEART DESIGN" offset the band's aggression with swathes of waterlogged new-wave guitars, which are played up for mournful effect on "UNDERWATER BOI" (a spiritual successor of sorts to "Blue by You," off 2015's Nonstop Feeling). And in yet another departure from hardcore norms, the band even link up with Blood Orange for two tracks, "ALIEN LOVE CALL" and "LONELY DEZIRES," the band's most melodic and soulful material to date.
Never before have TURNSTILE focused so intensely on the details -- and clearly, it's paid off with GLOW ON. "Working to figure out what you want from a song and how to capture it is always a huge learning experience." says Yates, who co-produced the record alongside producer Mike Elizondo. "A live show environment shared with others, I think, is the true essence of the band and music; but when recording an album, you're given a lot of opportunity. You want to breathe as much imagination into it as possible."
Yates, like many songwriters, isn't one for providing hard-and-fast interpretations of his lyrics, but he can agree to this: despite our best attempts to convey them through music and words, most emotions are just too complex to be summed up in a simple, digestible manner, least of all in a punk song. To that end, GLOW ON, with its free-wheeling approach and ambiguous lyrics, represents an attempt to subvert these roadblocks and embrace the human condition for what it is -- a mess. "Humans are complex," says Yates. "Feelings are complex. Sometimes, it's hard to get those dimensions of feelings into songs." Thus, rippers like "HOLIDAY" are built like Rorschach tests, the lyrics blurring the line between steadfast and somber. Depending on your perspective, the thought of "sailing with no direction" could be an untethered celebration, or the loneliest tale of a meaningless quest through life without purpose.
TURNSTILE aren't seeking to provide any answers to life's big questions, of course: at the end of the day, they're here to spread love, and hopefully get you dancing. The band's short film TURNSTILE LOVE CONNECTION (a companion piece to July's EP of the same name, and by extension, GLOW ON Itself) underscores this mission again and again across its 11-minute runtime. The film begins with the band aimlessly roaming the grounds of a deserted stadium before transitioning to an extended, dreamlike sequence resembling a life cycle in their beloved hometown of Baltimore, starring their family and peers. We close with Yates riding on the back of a dirt bike, holding on for dear life, quiet bliss lighting up his face. The sound fades out as the pair speeds into the horizon, approaching the point of no return, or perhaps a new beginning. Of course, the end destination doesn't matter; TURNSTILE have always been about the journey; roadmaps, itineraries, and speed limits be damned. We're all immensely lucky to be along for the ride.

Tremendous Night
by Stedge on 10/13/25Petco Park - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5I travelled from UK to San Diego. Holiday first gig second. Great venue. So chilled and relaxed. Well until the bands came on. The first 2 acts were forgettable but Amyl and the Sniffers were incredible as always. It was my first time seeing Turnstile and they didn’t disappoint. Fantastic energy and the crowd erupted. Great night. Great bands. Great venue.
LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE
by Jo on 10/13/25Petco Park - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5From the openers to Turnstile themselves; absolutely amazing performance !!! 🤘💙 Staff was super helpful and nice as well.
You really gotta see it live to get it
by Lil TLC 4 U n Me on 10/12/25WAMU Theater - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5This show was absolutely incredible! Stage, lighting, performance, and the crowd put it all on the table that night! My knees are still recovering from the dancing day’s later, I have zero complaints. I wish for everyone to go to a live show and experience a life changing performance like the one Turnstile puts down!
WAMU thank you
by Joe on 10/10/25WAMU Theater - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5Air conditioning, bathrooms, and free water during the show. Thank you WAMU for a safe and comfortable experience. Turnstile is one of the best bands of all time so this was a dream come true!
TURNSTILE 100%
by Musiceater on 9/30/25Armory - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5Turnstile is one of those bands that almost every person I know who’s into different kinds of music can appreciate. There’s something really unique and yet nostalgic about their sound, and I think it speaks to a cross generational understanding of music, as well as social and self-awareness. Everyone at the concert was kind, excited and helpful. It’s the kind of place the world could be.
Never Enough!
by DND007 on 9/29/25Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5One can never get enough of Turnstile! Great show, the VIP experience was a great add at Northerly Island. Great venue to see a generational band!
Goodness Gracious Me Oh My
by Arbra on 9/29/25Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5This show was fantaaaaaaaaaaastic. We brough our seasoned (2nd show ever) child to this and they ended the night on the floor shirtless. I don't know what more of an endorsement a band could need, but dang, if this wasn't an amazing show for everyone involved. I would take my entire family to see then again in a heartbeat. Bonus words: it truly helped meeting Trevor, the videographer/photographer, before the show even began, to start us off on a high high HIGH note. Amazing work! Keep it up!
Very memorable
by Stony on 9/29/25Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5Staff was nice, performances were on time, there are not many ways to exit when it’s over so the crowd does bottle neck and it’s slow to get out but it doesn’t take away that it was a great night and I’m glad turnstile performed here
Turnstile was EPIC at the Mainline Stage
by Jessica on 9/22/25Highmark Skyline Stage - Mann - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5This was the perfect venue to see Turnstile. The sound was amazing, the lighting was beautiful and the weather was stellar. I couldn’t have imagined a better night. I had a slice of pizza from one of the food trucks and it was exactly what I needed. My bf left to use the restroom and was gone for over 20 mins waiting for the portable bathrooms near the pit. We found out after that the actual bathrooms were on the other side and that would have been helpful to know. Other than that, 5 stars, we LOVE The Mann!
Best live show out there
by Captain Dano on 9/22/25Highmark Skyline Stage - Mann - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5….. no fluff. Great band, songs, ethics, lighting. Ticketmaster $30 fee is lame but so is Ticketmaster.
Best band of all time
by Sammy on 12/18/24Rating: 5 out of 5Saw them back in 2023 opening for blink. I had no idea who they were until they were onstage. To be honest, I wasn’t super stoked because I’m not the biggest blink 182 fan. I’m so glad I ended up going because it led me to discover turnstile. They blew me away and became my most listened artist shortly after the show.
louder than life
by lizzy on 12/6/23Rating: 4 out of 5they played at louder than life where i discovered them they were good and put on a good show
Unbelievable! And they’re from my hometown!
by Shawn Dant on 10/20/23Rating: 5 out of 5My wife took me to see Turnstile last October “in Charlotte” and it was a spiritual experience. I’m 56 and was ready to stage dive but my wife didn’t think it would be a great idea. Anyway, I’m a vocalist/ drummer, and found out we have mutual friends, plus I talked with Daniel before the show. The band was professional and sounded perfect! Plus, the very diverse crowd was so impressive that I couldn’t believe it! It didn’t matter what age, color, gender, etc.. It was the only show I’ve ever attended that everyone had each other’s back, and the vibe in the venue was astonishing! We can’t wait to see them again! Plus, Franz hugged my wife and I after the show and gave us his setlist and Daniel gave us his drum sticks. Best show in years!!
Amazing band
by D. K. on 9/12/23Rating: 5 out of 5Been to 2 concerts already in Milwaukee and Chicago! Amazing performances both times, they really know how to bring the energy to the stage! I’m 21, my dad is 50. He said it is easily the best show he has saw in years! Don’t miss out and give them a shot. PLEASE COME BACK TO WISCONSIN!!
New fan 🤘🏻
by Shayla on 8/6/23Rating: 5 out of 5Saw them open for Blink-182 in Charlotte, NC (July 2023). They were the best openers I’ve ever seen and made me a fan! Amazing show presence and sound. I hope to see them again if they do a solo tour!
Amazing
by D. M. on 5/9/23Rating: 5 out of 5There shows are bright and energetic with the way the light and how they perform it’s all great
Obnoxiously bright
by Megan on 5/4/23Rating: 1 out of 5Bring sunglasses to this show... literally. The light's surrounding the stage were ridiculously bright. Couldn't even look. Can't stress enough that the lights were really obnoxious and really distracted from the show
Turnstile delivers
by Cameron Frye on 3/4/23Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandRating: 5 out of 5This show was supposed to happen in October ‘22, but Covid got in the way. It finally happened on the last day of February’23 and it was worth the wait. The members of Turnstile all left every ounce of energy on the stage and rampaged through a blistering set of tunes. The opening act, JPEG Mafia, proved to be a solid opener, getting the crowd fired up and ready for the main act.
You Really Gotta See it Live to Get it.
by AK on 12/16/22Rating: 5 out of 5Saw them in my home town of Charlotte and they kicked so much ass that I had to see them again Atlanta. They put on an incredible show with the best energy. They deserve all the attention and success they’ve been getting lately. Don’t think another second about whether the tickets are worth it or not, just buy them already. You will not be disappointed. This is an experience you will always remember.
