Brendan Yates

Because, honestly, what's that mean? Like, that's basically saying, like, right now, I'm drinking a beer.

okay what kind of beer like oh my god but uh i digress um the band consists of a couple different members uh the lead vocalist is uh brendan yates you got guitarist pat mccorry and meg mills and then you get bassist franz leons and drummer daniel fang also what a Bitchin' Last Name.

Daniel Fang, man.

I love that.

When everything is out of your control, a lesson to be learned in letting go.

Now, I will also say this.

It may be hard to pick up on those lyrics if you're not reading them because as good as Brendan Yates' voice sounds, it is and was on the past track just absolutely drenched in reverb.

Like, it is very spaced out.

yeah they're washed i think at this point

yeah the worst take i saw on this came from a twitter account with like a smashing pumpkins lyric reference as their handle talking about like how these kids don't know what real hardcore is you know right like i don't think you got the message of geek usa or cherub rock if like these are the lines you're gonna draw but yeah the the the picture where um you know brendan yates is jumping it looks like he's uh doing like the air jordan over the washington monument only the second coolest photo that I've seen this week.

The coolest photo is of course your photo of Kings of Leon, uh, which is a top, your newest sub stack post.

I don't know.

And as of Sunday afternoon, the campaign's launch good page showed more than $240,000 raised from about 3,500 supporters.

During their set, the lead singer of Turnstile, Brendan Yates, said to the crowd, quote, "'We're so grateful to have been raised by this scene, "'one that taught us that music "'not only reflects the artist making it, "'but the people and the world "'and the suffering and the joy that surrounds it.'" And then later on, he said, loud enough for the White House to hear it.

Free Palestine, free Sudan, free Lebanon.

So snaps to turnstile.

record

called Pylon, and it's got collaborations with Hayley Williams from Paramore, Brendan Yates from Turnstile, Chino Moreno from the Deftones, and Matt Healy.

Div has a new record out called Zerp.

Now, reissues coming this week.

Ex-guitarist Brady Erbert got kicked out of the band because he tried to run the lead vocalist's father over with his car.

Turnstile singer Brendan Yates, his dad...

I guess they were not happy with each other.

But anyway, this guy is apparently super crazy because a court just ruled that he is incompetent of standing trial at this moment.

Yeah.

So, um, the next band I did was about 10 years ago now, and it was a side project band that, that Brad Hira and Brendan Yates were doing.

Um, they both played in TY together.

Mm-hmm.

But there's also this foreboding guitar riff.

Their vocalist does some sing-talking in the verses, only to explode with, like, what to me sounds like this hardcore scream that's so similar to Brendan Yates from Turnstile, kind of like echoing in a stadium.

And the rhythm section changes up in a way that sometimes feels more in line with, like, what an alt rock drummer might do.

Because that's kind of the thing about their music.

[laughs]

Let's let the trial play out here, but yeah, he's, he's accused of using, of trying to run over Brendan Yates' father.

Uh-

Yes
