Recorded with producer Mike Elizondo and co-produced by TURNSTILE vocalist Brendan Yates, GLOW ON finds TURNSTILE once again charting new ground for hardcore, expanding stylistic boundaries and celebrating new possibilities. GLOW ON is 15 tracks devoid of borders, boundaries, or entry obstacles, only abundant imagination, heart, and grooves plucked from all corners of the musical spectrum.
GLOW ON includes the singles โFLY AGAIN,โ โBLACKOUT,โ โHOLIDAY,โ โNO SURPRISE,โ โMYSTERY,โ and โT.L.C. (TURNSTILE LOVE CONNECTION),โ the latter four of which appear on TURNSTILEโs recent TURNSTILE LOVE CONNECTION EP and companion short film. GLOW ON also includes guest features from Blood Orange on โALIEN LOVE CALL,โ โLONELY DEZIRES,โ with additional vocal contributions on โENDLESS.โ
Selected as Stereogumโs Album Of The Week, Senior Editor Tom Breihan wrote โBefore GLOW ON, TURNSTILE were already a truly special band, a ray of exploding energy. With this album, theyโve hit dizzy new heightsโฆTheyโve made a classic. I canโt even imagine what theyโll do next.โ โThe through line of all this is a lack of fearโof pushback, of resistance, of excommunicationโthat defines TURNSTILEโ noted The Recording Academy, while NPR remarked, โTURNSTILE has the ability to lure even the most poptimistic listener with spectacular hooks.โ The New York Times applauded โALIEN LOVE CALLโ (feat. Blood Orange) as a โshoegaze space-soul collaborationโ with PASTE attesting โthe band can downshift from โexplosiveโ to โdreamyโ without missing a beat.โ Rolling Stone praised โMYSTERYโ for its โno-nonsense barrage of chugging power chords, stadium-sized rock drums, and scorching guitar solos,โ with The Guardian affirming โIt takes around 45 seconds of GLOW ONโs thrusting, anthemic opener โMYSTERYโ to realise that TURNSTILE are no longer just a great hardcore punk band, but a great rock one, too.โ
Bringing superhuman energy to the stage, TURNSTILE are currently out on a run of sold-out headline dates, which continues August 28th in Garden Grove, CA and concludes with a hometown performance on September 16th in Baltimore, MD.
Later this fall they are set for a series of festival performances, including Dover, Delawareโs Firefly Music Festival (9/23), Louisville, Kentuckyโs Louder Than Life (9/24), Indianola, Iowaโs Knotfest (9/25), and more with a nationwide tour alongside $uicideboy$, Chief Keef, Slowthai and more kicking off on October 1st in Alpharetta, GA at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre. Full Tour dates can be found HERE.
Always more appeal than demand, more liberation than limitation, TURNSTILE extended their hand in 2018 with TIME & SPACE. Recorded with producer Will Yip, TIME & SPACE marked Turnstileโs Roadrunner Records debut and saw the band exploding the most outsized tropes of hardcore with tremendous heart. The album earned โBest of 2018โ honors from The New Yorker, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR Billboard and more, with GQ naming TIME & SPACE one of โThe Best Albums That Shaped the 2010s.โ
Reminding us that all music is dance music, TURNSTILE linked up with Australian producer Mall Grab in 2020 to release SHARE A VIEW, a collaborative EP of three reimagined TIME & SPACE tracks โ โGenerator,โ โReal Thing,โ and โI Donโt Wanna Be Blind.โ
Comprised of Brendan Yates (Vocals), Franz Lyons (Bass/Vocals), Brady Ebert (Guitars), Pat McCrory (Guitars), and Daniel Fang (Drums), TURNSTILEโs brand of youth-minded, youth-driven hardcore punk is intent on breaking down barriers, sonically and ideologically.
