\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div> \t\t\t\t\tTurnstile opened their fall tour, in support of new album \u2018Never Enough,\u2019 in Nashville.<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaggie London for Rolling Stone<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tHardcore shows aren\u2019t supposed to take place in venues of this size, but, at this point, Turnstile aren\u2019t a hardcore band, even if their values are grounded in it. They\u2019re a band, born from the eclectic Baltimore DIY scene, that melds specific, diverse influences to create a brand of rock uniquely configured to them. Never Enough <\/em>mixes ethereal pop, Police-infused new wave, and chainsaw riffs, all of it elevating Turnstile\u2019s melodic sound to greater heights. Onstage, it translated extremely well.<\/p>\n \n\tOpening with the bombastic Foo Fighters-esque title track, Turnstile tore through their 75-minute set with ease. Combining crowd favorites like \u201cT.L.C. (Turnstile Love Connection),\u201d \u201cEndless,\u201d and \u201cReal Thing\u201d with the live debuts of \u201cCeiling\u201d and \u201cHey You,\u201d it was as seamless an integration as a band can get. In fact, those songs felt as at home in the set as crowd-pleasing favorites \u201cMystery\u201d and \u201cHoliday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\tSinger Brendan Yates\u2019 intensity \u2014\u00a0at one point leaping with abandon, at another frenetically thrusting \u2014\u00a0is what makes Turnstile cook. Throughout the night, the shirtless Yates had full control of the crowd. He picked the perfect moments to implore them to sing, encourage them to get wild, and several times, check on their well-being. Turnstile\u2019s powerhouse rhythm section of bassist Franz Lyons and drummer Daniel Fang, and guitarists Pat McCrory and Meg Mills (who replaced founding guitarist Brady Ebert in 2022) are skilled musicians who allow Yates to soar while holding down the sound. That collective tightness, honed on their summer European run, was the impetus to get the crowd moving, and often surfing, through the venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAs they did at their Under the K Bridge show in New York in June, Turnstile brough out a surprise guest for \u201cSeein\u2019 Stars\u201d: collaborator, pal, and Nashville hometown hero Hayley Williams. Both with Paramore and her own solo career, Williams knows a thing or two about breaking away from a particular sonic corner while bringing her audience along for the ride.\u00a0And, onstage in Nashville, she and Yates worked the crowd into a frenzy.<\/p>\n \n\tFor a band with Turnstile\u2019s success, arenas (or at least rooms with capacity in the five figures) would have been the logical next step for the Never Enough<\/em> tour. The group\u2019s stage production, a minimalist\/maximalist approach utilizing a single video screen that toggled between a technicolor background and shots of the sweaty crowd, certainly allows for that. No doubt, fans would embrace the arena evolution as simply the next rung on the band\u2019s inevitable, world-conquering trajectory.<\/p>\n \t\tRelated Content<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\tBut that\u2019s not Turnstile. While the group is ambitious, the band continues to yearn for personal connection at their concerts and manifest the underdog spirit of their native Baltimore. Even in 2022, during the height of Glow On<\/em>, they enlisted Snail Mail and JPEGMAFIA, both with Baltimore connections, to celebrate their hometown. Turnstile \u2014 the area\u2019s most significant cultural export since John Waters \u2014 refuse to lose touch with their hardcore roots.<\/p>\n \n\tThat was on full display during a show-closing \u201cBirds,\u201d when Yates implored the crowd to join them onstage. Within a minute, a hundred or so fans swarmed the stage, jumping along and occasionally diving back into the pit. But the chaos didn\u2019t hinder Turnstile; rather, they thrived off it.<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tHayley Williams performs with Turnstile at the Pinnacle in Nashville.<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaggie London for Rolling Stone<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tAs the Never Enough<\/em> tour rumbles across the U.S. this fall, before a return to Europe, and a just announced Coachella slot, Turnstile is on a mission \u2014 to show they\u2019re the best American band working today. On Monday in Nashville, their dizzying live performance, arena-ready songs, and proudly rough edges, helped make their case.<\/p>\n \n\tSetlist:<\/strong>\n
