Why is Brady Ebert leaving Turnstile? Guitarist parts ways with band after 12 years

American hardcore punk band Turnstile has parted ways with its founding member Brady Ebert. On Friday, August 12, Turnstile informed fans about the decision via an Instagram story, where they wrote:

“Turnstile and guitarist Brady Ebert are parting ways. We are deeply grateful for our time together. Our love for him continues and we wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”

Ebert has not commented on his departure from the group. No further information regarding the same is available as of now.

Some publications reported that Turnstile’s drummer Daniel Fang had filed a peace order against Ebert on August 4. In light of that, many are now speculating that Ebert's departure might have something to do with the order.

The hearing for Fang's peace order against Brady Ebert took place on August 11

Peace orders are granted when someone is accused of abusing, stalking, harassing, or destroying someone else's property.

Two hearings about Fang's peace order were held this month. If granted, the order would stop Ebert from contacting Fang, abusing him or coming near his home. However, the order was revoked.

Lambgoat cited a final hearing in the District Court of Maryland on August 11, where it was reportedly stated that there was no statutory basis for relief. The ruling said that there is no substantial evidence to enforce the order and deemed it as being beyond the jurisdiction of the law.

In 2010, Brady Ebert founded Turnstile alongside vocalist Brendan Yates. The band was then joined by bassist and vocalist Franz Lyons, drummer Daniel Fang and guitarist Sean Cullen. Cullen left in 2015 and was replaced by Pat McCrory. Ebert worked on all three studio albums by the band: Nonstop Feeling (2016), Time and Space (2018) and Glow On (2021).

In June 2021, the band released their fifth EP titled Turnstile Love Connection. They also released a short film of the same name directed by Yates.

Turnstile’s most recent album, Glow On, was released in August 2021. Glow On marks the band's first release to include a featured artist with a guest appearance from British singer/songwriter and producer Blood Orange.
