The likes of I CARE and HOLIDAY are tailor-made for grandeur, but somehow, Turnstile don’t lose the edge they’ve always had. Yes, it crosses into more of a mainstream territory, but it’s still unapologetically them. ALIEN LOVE CALL sees Blood Orange make a surprise appearance, before BIRDS finishes off the night with a wild crescendo of flailing bodies and the chance to make security earn their keep.
This doesn’t feel like any old gig – it’s a timestamp in history for the band and the hardcore scene. They’re officially the genre’s ultimate ambassadors. Turnstile summer is well and truly underway!
