I don't know how much of it is the modern media landscape and how much of it is being a 40 year old man with small children, but I have a hard time telling exactly how "big" a group is. I think it's a bit of column a and a bit of column b, and at any rate this may be obvious but Turnstile is either already huge or about to be huge. Their last album Glow On was really big, they were direct support on Blink 182's world tour in '23/'24, and their new album Never Enough has been heavily anticipated. It feels like one of the most heavily talked about albums in recent years at least in terms of my friends, my music people, my algorithms.

I like hardcore, but I've always been into pop and so Turnstile has only gone farther up my alley as they've evolved. Anyways, discuss.

 

 

 

I also have a huge soft spot for Turnstile for doing the pop punk banger in the ITYSL shirt brothers sketch

I freely admit I have no fucking idea whatsoever anymore. The media landscape is so fractured it's almost impossible to tell. I have arguments with my son because he wants Alexa to play some super esoteric video game song which isn't on Amazon music, and I take pains not to say it isn't real music and undercut his feelings, but it's a bitch to articulate to a 9 year old what media consumption was like and what is mainstream or not.

Well, it's definitely changed, so what it was doesn't really much matter any more.

I'm not entirely sure things haven't changed for the better.  I think the "platinum" hits going forward are more likely to be the streaming hits that land artists on main stages at festivals.  Any given festival becomes a gumbo of a few artists one knows about and a whole bunch of stuff that is off the radar for any particular listener.  I don't think we can put the genie back in the bottle.

I’ve been listening to them since the first album. Nice to hear some actual rock is hitting the “mainstream”, whatever that means now. 
 

I said it on another thread, but I am super pumped for the neo-grunge movement with bands like Dark Sun and Return to Dust. 

#9, not too bad

Never Enough fucking rips. Glow On also phenomenal.

Never Enough is such a banger. 

Yeah the music landscape is so fractured but I look at it on the bright side - I'm always finding new little nuggets of awesomeness unexpectedly.

This guy (Will Yip) produced the upcoming full length LP for my daughter's band.  He's a fucking wizard.

Oh shit, Will Yip did your daughter’s band’s record? That’s a big deal, he’s like “the guy” for that whole genre.

Yup, at his studio (Studio 4) in Philadelphia.  In particular, the drums sound extraordinary, but the whole thing is massive.  The drums were actually a kit he built and apparently markets -- aluminum shells!  Sep 12 release date, but the first single is out, you can see the video on the "heavy" thread.

I knew he did the Turnstile record but I was surprised to see them starting to pop up on celestial radio here in Austin.  He has some pull for sure.

 

Never Enough is the best album I've heard in a while. There isn't enough volume to do it justice. 

Going to the Seattle show tonight! If I survive will recap. 

Buy the tix

 

 

 

Just got turned onto this group recently. I heard Seeing Stars and my first thought was Police with a little bit of Fixx. Segue into Birds and I was like damn this sounds like Jane’s Addiction. Listened to the rest of the album was and not disappointed.  Great sound in the modern musical landscape. 

I am heartened to see so many young people moshing again.

This clip from Shaky Knees in Atlanta cracked me up:

 

 

Haha, epic

It was like some cross between the Virginia Reel we had to learn in 3rd grade and a plane crash.

LMAO.  Did you make that or just find it?

haha made it - i think it's probably kpop demon hunters on the TV and they started hardcore dancing, just remembered that when I saw the die spitz video

 

wait. that's football on tv. i feel like there must have been an uneasy truce between red river shootout on the tv and kpop demon hunters through the alexa

Birds is such a jam. Every time it comes up on Spotify, I listen to it like 4 times in a row.

Damn right. Birds is fantastic -- as tight as anything Jane's ever put out. 

 

Fuck yeah 

Yeah, that's really cool.  Congrats to Turnstile and Yip.

October 3: Oklahoma City

October 6: Lawrence, KS

October 14: Ventura, CA

They get great sound on those shows. Kudos to the studio engineers.

Man that’s so awesome.

Counterpoint: very few people are going to OK City, Lawrence, or Ventura LOL. That's OK, these were add-ins during a touring break, because who needs to sleep?

Shoot I bet Ventura turns out.

I'm bummed they haven't made it out my way yet, I 100% would like to see them.

Nice. Honestly up there quite a bit so might work out. Then again I'm old and want to be in bed at a reasonable hour.
