TURNSTILE

Baltimore hardcore band TURNSTILE has built its name on pushing punk beyond its usual limits, blending classic American hardcore with groove-heavy metalcore and broader alternative influences.

They’ve developed a sound that balances raw intensity with melody, earning recognition for stepping outside the traditional boundaries of hardcore and into a wider rock space.¹ Albums like Time & Space and the Grammy-nominated Glow On highlight that shift, while Never Enough continues the progression with a more textured, atmospheric edge.²

TURNSTILE formed in Baltimore in 2010 around vocalist Brendan Yates, bassist Franz Lyons, drummer Daniel Fang, and guitarists including Brady Ebert, with the lineup evolving over time.² Over time, the lineup has evolved, with guitarist Pat McCrory joining as a core member. Ebert stepped away from the band in 2022; Meg Mills has since performed with the group as part of their touring lineup.
