Turnstile have won their first Grammys. This year the Baltimore hardcore outfit was nominated for Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Metal Performance, Best Rock Album, and Best Alternative Music Performance. The band took home Best Rock Album for last year's Never Enough and Best Metal Performance for "Birds."
In the Best Rock Album category, Turnstile beat Deftones' private music, Haim's I Quit, Linkin Park's From Zero, and Yungblud's Idols. For Best Metal Performance, they beat Dream Theater's "Night Terror," Ghost's "Lachryma," Sleep Token's "Emergence," and Spiritbox's "Soft Spine." In 2023, Glow On earned them nominations for Best Metal Performance, Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Performance, but they went home without any wins.
UPDATE: Via Instagram Tuesday, Turnstile shared the following statement about their Grammy wins:
On Sunday our band won 2 Grammys for Best Rock Album & Best Metal Performance. We never thought we’d be in these rooms, but we are very grateful to be here.
This band has never been about the individual, but rather about a collective searching for a common thread in a world where those threads are being hidden from us.
The world likes to tell us who we are and what we’re not, but the truth is we belong to nothing and we belong to everyone.
We’re existing in a time of heightened state violence. We are watching people be pushed out of their homes here in America, in Palestine, in Sudan, in Iran, everywhere, as if they don’t belong to them. As if we don’t belong to each other. Music is a vehicle for voices that are buried, that are searching, that are alien. Turnstile has always existed as an alien thing.
Thank you to our family, our friends, our partners, our peers for continuing to shape us and give us sense of belonging. Thank you to anyone who has ever come to a show and swung in the dark with us. Thank you to our team who fights for us to be in the room. Thank you to Baltimore for giving us a stage. Thank you to everyone who has allowed this band to be a mirror for this community. Thank you.
With love,
TURNSTILE
