Turnstile's "GLOW ON" is a high-energy, boundary-pushing hardcore punk album that solidifies the band's status as leaders in the genre. Released on August 27, 2021, via Roadrunner Records, this 15-track collection is the band's third studio album and features a blend of crunchy guitar riffs, powerful vocals, and driving drums that showcase Turnstile's signature sound. The album is notable for being the last to feature founding guitarist Brady Ebert, who departed from the band in August 2022.
"GLOW ON" kicks off with the intense "MYSTERY" and doesn't let up with tracks like "BLACKOUT," "DON'T PLAY," and the standout single "HOLIDAY." The album also includes collaborations, such as "ALIEN LOVE CALL" featuring Blood Orange, adding a unique twist to the hardcore sound. Other highlights include the groovy "HUMANOID / SHAKE IT UP," the anthemic "ENDLESS," and the infectious "T.L.C. (TURNSTILE LOVE CONNECTION)."
Recorded in the summer of 2020 at Phantom Studios in Gallatin, Tennessee, "GLOW ON" is a testament to Turnstile's ability to create music that is both aggressive and melodic. The album's 34-minute runtime is packed with energy, making it a standout release in the hardcore punk scene.
