History edit
2010–2020: Early years and Nonstop Feeling edit
Turnstile was formed in 2010 and grew out of Baltimore's emerging hardcore scene. They released their debut EP, Pressure to Succeed, in 2011[5] and their second EP, Step 2 Rhythm, in 2013, both via Reaper Records.[6] On January 13, 2015, Turnstile released their debut full-length album, Nonstop Feeling, on the same label.[7][8] The album was recorded at Salad Days Studios with producer Brian McTernan.[9] Supporting the release of the album, Turnstile went on both an East Coast and a West Coast tour with Superheaven, titled the Nonstop Feeling Tour.[10] They also supported New Found Glory on their Spring 2015 tour. Following this tour, their guitarist Sean Coo stepped down, and a replacement was found in Pat McCrory of fellow Maryland-based hardcore band Angel Du$t.[11]
On September 16, 2016, Turnstile released their third EP, titled Move Thru Me. The record charted at No. 14 on the Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart and No. 19 on the Hard Rock Albums chart. The band embarked on the Move Thru Me Tour across the U.S. with support from Angel Du$t, Big Bite, Krimewatch, Fury and Lock on select dates in the fall of 2016. The band began recording for their second album under Roadrunner Records in the fall of 2017, completing recording in early 2018. The record was produced by Will Yip at his Studio 4 recording studio. On February 23, 2018, the band released the album, titled Time & Space – their first release under a major label.[12] This was followed by the band embarking across the U.S. on the Time & Space Tour with support from Touché Amoré, Culture Abuse and Razorbumps. A European leg followed this with support from Fury, a South Korean and Southeast Asia leg, and a U.K. leg with support from Wicca Phase Springs Eternal and Big Cheese. Three of the album's tracks were reworked with DJ and producer Mall Grab and released as an EP, titled Share A View, in January 2020.[13]
2021–present: Glow On and Ebert's departure edit
Turnstile band released their fifth EP, Turnstile Love Connection, alongside an accompanying short film directed by Yates, in June 2021.[14] This was followed two months later by another album, Glow On. The first single from the album, "Alien Love Call", was released and featured British musician Blood Orange.[15] The album debuted at No. 30 on the Billboard 200, and was met with universal acclaim from critics, going on to be listed at No. 8 in Rolling Stone's Best 50 Albums of 2021 list.[citation needed] Turnstile supported Suicideboys on tour from September to November 2021,[16] and on some of My Chemical Romance's North American Reunion Tour.
The band formally parted ways with guitarist Brady Ebert, in August 2022, a couple of months ahead of a headlining tour.[17] Before this, Ebert had notably been absent from the band's tours, and had been replaced by Greg Cerwonka of Take Offense.[18] Meg Mills, of Big Cheese and formerly Chubby and the Gang, was brought on as touring guitarist replacing Greg Cerwonka.[19]
At the 65th Grammy Awards, held in February 2023, "Holiday" was nominated for Best Rock Performance, and "Blackout" was nominated for both Best Rock Song and Best Metal Performance.[20] Turnstile continued to tour extensively throughout 2023, including supporting Blink-182 on the North American leg of their 2023 global tour.[21] In August of that year they released "New Heart Designs", a joint EP with Canadian jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD, containing reworked versions of Turnstile's "Mystery", "Alien Love Call" and "Underwater Boi".
