TURNSTILE

No barriers between band and crowd. Celebrating groove, physical freedom, shared vulnerability, and non-stop stage dives in the modern hardcore ecosystem.

Modern hardcore's most explosive open-barrier stage-dive & circle-pit phenomenon. Formed in Baltimore, Maryland in 2010 by vocalist Brendan Yates, bassist Franz Lyons, and friends from the Charm City DIY scene. With an infectious, rhythm-driven hardcore sound and relentless tours playing sweaty floor-level VFW halls, Turnstile transformed into a global powerhouse without ever abandoning open-stage hardcore ethics.
