Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates says he secured his date to February's Grammy Awards ceremony many years ago.
"When I was younger, it was always a thing that my mom joked about. 'All right, stop drumming, it's 9 o'clock.' And I'd be like, 'Please, let me get 10 more minutes,'" Yates says. "She would always say: 'Well, when you go to the Grammys, you know you have to bring your mom.' And I was like, 'All right, fine.' Then I could play for 10 more minutes."
The Baltimore-based hardcore punk band Turnstile is one of this year's surprise Grammy stories, nominated for three awards: rock performance, for "Holiday," and rock song and metal performance, for the song "Blackout," both tracks from its breakout LP, "Glow On."
