My album of the year (2021) and likely a while.

Much to my own surprise, it's the new bloody Turnstile.

After seeing a live energetic performance around 5 years ago (my pal had a ticket going spare), I warmed to the EPs but had never got into the swing of the two LPs that came after. Even then, my appreciation was so so. After initially not recognising how good these songs were, the album sampler EP - Turnstile Love Connection, worked it's magic on me.

Although being an alternative pop record it remains spiritually hardcore. 

Plenty of urgency and utilitarianism underneath the jangly shiny pop going on.

I want to articulate my love for this record but honestly, it's hard to express into words.
I just know I will be listening to this album in 30 years time and it will make me feel young.

It's got pop-punk, grunge, hardcore, thrash, beatdown, indie, electronica, shoe-gaze, nu-metal going on and a bunch of other stuff going on that I've probably not yet worked out.

^ Live show just after the release of the album, the vibe is just unreal. You know when the audience is singing along like this, their gonna blow. See em' now before it's too late. I've got tickets to catch them twice in 2022. Jealous? You should be. x
