Turnstile doesn’t stay still. Not in sound, not in spirit. Since their earliest days in Baltimore’s hardcore scene, the band has been in constant motion, stretching the genre’s form without ever abandoning its core intensity. Their latest evolution, GLOW ON, is both a declaration and an invitation: hardcore as something expansive, melodic, and alive.

On Sunday, October 5, Turnstile will bring that energy to San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. What happens at their shows isn’t easily explained. It’s loud, yes. Unrelenting at times. But there’s something else underneath: a looseness, a joy, a kind of freedom that transforms aggression into something communal.

The songs land fast, but they don’t blur. “Blackout,” “Mystery,” “T.L.C. (TURNSTILE LOVE CONNECTION):” each one hits with purpose, balancing tight production with raw performance. The band moves like a single body. The crowd answers back in kind.

Turnstile has never been about spectacle, but their live shows feel vital in a way few others do. This isn’t revival. It’s momentum.

Turnstile performs at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on Sunday, October 5. Tickets available at ticketmaster.com.
