We’re not exactly hungover from Turnstile’s intimate banger at the Ukrainian Cultural Center on May 15th—though the energy was definitely enough to bruise a rib or two. No, the real exhaustion? That comes courtesy of Turnstile’s massive New York City takeover this past weekend, where the band pulled off an unhinged set featuring none other than Hayley freakin’ Williams. Yeah. That happened. And yeah, we’re still recovering.
Oh—and did we mention they just dropped a brand-new album? Because of course they did. Turnstile isn’t pacing themselves. They’re in full sprint.
And if that wasn’t enough? After wrecking NYC, the band flew straight to Barcelona to keep the high-speed chaos rolling. International whiplash, anyone?
But while NYC got the chaos dialed to eleven, and Europe gets the encore, L.A. got the spark—raw, up-close, and spiritual in its own way. On May 15th, the Baltimore hardcore crew packed the Ukrainian Cultural Center for a night that felt explosive, sweaty, and deeply personal. Photographer Raymond Camacho was there to document it all, armed with a camera and zero fear of flying limbs. His shots? Wild, blurry, beautiful mayhem. Every stage dive, every sweat-slick grin, every blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment frozen in time.
Turnstile didn’t hold back. The floor shook. The lights pulsed. The crowd shouted every lyric like a battle cry. “T.L.C.,” “Don’t Play,” “Mystery”—each track hit like a pastel freight train. No room to stand still. No reason to want to.
And now? We chase the hair of the dog. We ride the afterglow. Whether you were in L.A., NYC, or across the ocean in Barcelona, one thing’s clear: Turnstile isn’t just riding a wave—they are the wave.
