Turnstile - Nonstop Feeling

Before Turnstile became one of hardcore's biggest crossover success stories, they laid the groundwork right here. Released in January 2015 on Reaper Records, Nonstop Feeling is the Baltimore band's debut full length, and it's the sound of a group figuring out exactly how far hardcore could stretch without losing its teeth.

Tracks like "Gravity" and "Blue By You" show the blueprint that would define Turnstile going forward: pit-ready two-step riffs and breakdowns colliding with genuine sing-along hooks and unexpected melodic detours. It plays like proper 90s hardcore filtered through a band already restless to bring in new influences, all foot-stomping energy and hooks big enough to shout back at a show.

The album turned heads on release for how confidently it welded classic hardcore aggression to a wider musical palette, earning praise for carving out a distinct identity in a genre that can be resistant to outsiders' ideas. It's not hard to hear, in retrospect, why this record set Turnstile on the path toward the genre-blurring, arena-filling band they'd eventually become.

This black vinyl reissue brings Turnstile's debut back to wax, the record where their sound first came into focus.
