Turnstile review – punk crossover quintet bring the heat to Brooklyn

On the year’s hottest day, the band of the moment celebrated their new album with a buoyant live show featuring a surprise special guest

Following their 2021 album Glow On, where frontman Brendan Yates traded in some screaming for singing over a blend of heavy riffs, soul and even dream pop, Turnstile has picked up three Grammy nominations, opened for Blink-182, received the aforementioned Charli xcx shoutout at Coachella and, this past week, found themselves on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show to promote Never Enough. Their new album takes Glow On’s blueprint and expands on it with hints of the Police, jazzy flutes, and guest spots from Hayley Williams and Dev Hynes, but Turnstile is still a hardcore band at heart. They opened with the title track, Never Enough, and even though the single had been released only weeks earlier, nearly every person in the audience sang it back to Yates as loudly as possible – ready to celebrate a new album and new era.
