Turnstile aren’t like other hard rock groups – you can hear the breadth of their influences on their records, as they clearly listen to more than just punk – there’s electronics, jazz, psychedelic indie, shoegaze and more in the mix, and they’re all the better for it.

Writing about electronic music is not one of the easier things to do, especially when it is more abstract, and elegantly linear.
