| Brendan Yates |
Based out of Baltimore, Maryland, Turnstile formed in 2010 and is fronted by vocalist Brendan Yates, who is also the drummer
in Trapped Under Ice and Diamond Youth (previously known as Diamond and DMND). Turnstile has released one demo, two EPs, one live tape, and
one full-length album, Nonstop Feeling,
released on January 13, 2015. The band is comprised of Yates, guitarists Brady Ebert and Sean
Cullen, bassist Franz Lyons and
drummer Daniel Fang.
Turnstile was among the newer bands being showcased at the annual
hardcore show known as the Black N' Blue Ball at Webster Hall's Grand Ballroom tonight. Unlike when he is confined
to the drums in other bands, tonight Yates was all over the venue's large stage,
working the crowd as he shouted bullets into the microphone. Some songs were eruptions
of fast and frenzied energy, but many songs were slower and sludge-filled, almost
like stoner rock, with deep, dark grooves. Turnstile embraced the New York hardcore
sound of the 1980s, bypassing the more commercial West Coast adaption of the
1990s. This made Turnstile a promising new band on the hardcore scene.
