Hardcore-punk mainstays Turnstile have reached a new milestone with the release of their fourth studio album, Never Enough, which debuted on June 6, 2025. The record has quickly soared up global charts, earning the band its highest commercial debut to date and signaling a breakthrough moment in their genre-defying evolution.
According to industry data, Never Enough entered the Billboard 200 at No. 9, selling over 38,000 album-equivalent units in its first week—27,500 of which were pure album sales. The achievement marks a significant leap from their 2021 release, Glow On, which peaked at No. 30 on the same chart. Internationally, the album hit No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 5 in Australia, further underscoring the group’s expanding global appeal.
The album is Turnstile’s first to feature guitarist Meg Mills, whose official addition to the band comes after the departure of founding member Brady Ebert in 2022. Although Mills does not perform on the recorded tracks, her presence is noted in the album credits and will shape the band’s live performances moving forward. Her inclusion reflects a broader shift in Turnstile’s musical direction—one that embraces collaboration and innovation without losing touch with the band’s hardcore roots.
Never Enough has been lauded by critics for its adventurous sound. Publications like Pitchfork, NME, and The Guardian praised the album’s fearless incorporation of synths, flute solos, Latin rhythms, jazz horns, and ambient textures—elements rarely found in traditional hardcore. The record received a Metacritic score of 84, indicating “universal acclaim.”
Reviewers highlighted the album’s lead singles—like “Dreaming” and “Look Out for Me”—as standout examples of Turnstile’s evolving sonic identity. These tracks blend punchy rhythms and emotional hooks with unexpected instrumentation, offering a kaleidoscopic take on punk energy that’s both dynamic and accessible. Features from Hayley Williams and jazz saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings add depth to the record’s genre fusion.
Turnstile’s embrace of sonic diversity is also evident in their live shows. On June 14, they headlined Outbreak Fest in the UK, drawing one of their largest European audiences to date. In Brooklyn, a surprise performance under the Kosciuszko Bridge drew over 9,000 fans, where they debuted Never Enough material to a rapturous crowd—punctuated by guest appearances and visual album projections first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
This level of artistic and commercial success cements Turnstile’s place as one of the most forward-thinking acts in contemporary rock. While rooted in the hardcore scene, the band has steadily carved out a broader cultural footprint, appealing to fans across punk, alternative, and even indie pop scenes.
Their rise reflects a larger trend in music where genre boundaries continue to blur. Bands once pigeonholed into niche categories are finding wider audiences by fusing unexpected styles—and Turnstile is at the forefront of this movement.
In the months ahead, the band will take Never Enough on the road across Europe and North America, with tour support from artists like Mannequin Pussy, Blood Orange, Speed, and Amyl and the Sniffers. With a packed calendar and a wave of critical momentum, Turnstile is poised to continue reshaping the sound and perception of modern punk.
