Turnstile

About

Turnstile built their reputation in Baltimore's hardcore scene, but their 2021 album Glow On cracked them wide open to a much bigger audience, debuting at number 30 on the Billboard 200 and landing at number 8 on Rolling Stone's best albums of the year list. The band pulls from hardcore punk, post hardcore, and alternative rock, blending them in ways that feel genuinely unexpected rather than calculated. Three Grammy nominations for Glow On confirmed that critics were paying attention too. Their fourth album Never Enough, released in 2025, pushed them even further, charting in the top 10 in five countries including the US and earning five Grammy nominations. That made Turnstile the first band ever nominated in rock, alternative, and metal categories in the same year. They went on to win Best Metal Performance for "Birds" and Best Rock Album. The 2025 video for "Seein' Stars / Birds" shows the band still moving with real purpose.
