Turnstile’s Brendan Yates Pulled Off The First Stagedive In Tiny Desk History

One of the coolest things about witnessing Turnstile’s rise has been watching the band figure out how to play music intended for a specific context — the type of hardcore show where so many people stagedive that two different divers often land right on top of each other — in different situations, like giant festival stages or late-night talk shows. Next week, Turnstile will kick off a big North American tour where they’ll headline an amazing, carefully selected bill. Today, we get to watch them reinvent their sound and style enough to play a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR’s offices in Washington, DC.
