Description
Hardcore-Punk for Pop Aficionados
Quality and quantity: Turnstile can do both. After the American hardcore heroes released their new EP "Turnstile Love Connection" in June 2021, they are also presenting their new, third album "Glow On" in August.
The quintet, which still consists of Brady Ebert (lead guitar), Daniel Fang (drums, percussion), Brendan Yates (lead vocals), "Freaky" Franz Lyons (bass, percussion, vocals) and since 2016 also Pat McCrory (rhythm guitar), has composed 15 tracks for it. These include the four songs from the EP: "Holiday", "Mystery", "No Surprise" and "T.L.C.".
Recorded with producer Mike Elizondo and co-produced by Yates, "Glow On" builds on the 2018 album "Time & Space," with which Turnstile blazed new trails in hardcore and expanded stylistic boundaries. The new record also disregards genre boundaries and instead draws from a broad musical spectrum: hardcore meets pop and R'n'B. And so it's no surprise that the band collaborated with English singer, songwriter, and producer Dev Hynes, also known as Blood Orange, on a few songs, including the singles "Alien Love Call" and "Lonely Dezires." A few vocal contributions are also featured in "Endless."
Turnstile was formed in Baltimore, Maryland in 2010. Since then, the band has released three EPs and two albums: "Nonstop Feeling" (2015) and "Time & Space" (2018). Their music is best described as hardcore punk. However, they have always been experimental and open to new influences. About their single "Holiday," the US magazine NPR wrote: "Turnstile has the ability to hook even the most pop-savvy listener with their spectacular hooks." The New Yorker magazine The Fader already chose the song as one of the "20 Best Rock Songs Right Now."
