Goldenvoice is a long way from throwing rec-center punk shows, but a couple of early sets harked back to that era on Friday afternoon at Coachella
Brendan Yates fronts Turnstile, an American hardcore punk band from Baltimore, at Coachella on April 12 , and the emphasis is on Gen Z and global sounds, some of the best opening acts on Friday came out of the gate frothing and eager to antagonize.
Goldenvoice is a long way from throwing rec-center punk shows, but on this balmy and easygoing afternoon, a couple of early sets harked back to that era. The Baltimore band Turnstile put out one of the best and most creative hardcore records of the year, making room for heady jazz and hard-turn breakdowns. Fans of the groundbreaking SoCal group Suicidal Tendencies would have a lot to like here, and Brendan Yates is a compellingly physical frontman, especially so early in the weekend.

Dressed in a shredded military vest , he careened across the stage and shrieked until he could barely stand as he played cuts from his breakthrough LP “Veteran.
For anyone complaining that Coachella has lost its edge, acts like Turnstile, JPEGMAFIA and their ilk put it back and made it cut.Get breaking stories straight from Hollywood, covering film, television, music and more.
