Turnstile is not just an artist but an entire movement within the hardcore music genre. This band, hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, was formed in 2010 and since then has definitely left its imprint in the music industry. Through their unique approach to hardcore, blending dynamic rhythms with soaring melodies, Turnstile has managed to stand out from the rest, drawing fans from an array of different genres. The band is lauded for their overall energy that is not just vocal but infectious, cutting across performances, albums and especially music videos like 'Gravity,' 'Generator,' and the mind-bending 'Real Thing'.
When it comes to music videos though, they play in a league of their own. 'Real Thing' set the tone for their ability to create a cinematic atmosphere, merging a compelling narration with surreal visuals. Then you have 'Generator', a masterpiece that uses bright hues, sprawling landscapes, and swift camera transitions to create a visually arresting experience. It's the kind of video that gets etched into your mind, playing long after it ends. Sandwiched in between these two, you have 'Gravity' - a video that captured the band performing live, a raw and pure representation of the energy they bring to their shows.
Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of their video formula is their collaboration with visionary director Atiba Jefferson, whose contributions have truly amplified the Turnstile experience. Ever noticed how the band's music videos often feature a basketball? That's a nod to Jefferson's love for the sport. It offers a slice of trivia that intertwines the band's music with the director's passion, effortlessly translating the pulsating energy of their sound into visuals that draw the viewer in. Not often do you see a rock band and a sport blending together in such a seamless and impactful way, creating a peculiar trademark that is all their turnstile's way of saying, "Welcome to our world".
