TURNSTILE: Nonstop Feeling Vinyl LP

Where Turnstile announced themselves to anyone paying attention.

Nonstop Feeling (2015) is the Baltimore band's debut full-length -- twelve tracks of groove-locked hardcore that barely stops to breathe. Brendan Yates raps, shouts, and melodic-hooks his way through songs built on chunky NYHC-style riffs and a rhythmic sensibility that owes as much to go-go and hip-hop as it does to Sick of It All. The opening sample from local step squad Dem Raider Boyz sets the tone: this is Baltimore music, in full. Critics compared them to 311 and Rage Against the Machine and meant it as a dig -- the band took it as a compliment and kept going. Produced by Brian McTernan at Salad Days Studios.
