Overview
- Turnstile won Best Rock Album for Never Enough and Best Metal Performance for “Birds” after receiving five Grammy nominations.
- In a post-awards Instagram message, the band said we are living in a time of heightened state violence and described people being pushed from their homes in the U.S., Palestine, Sudan, and Iran.
- The statement framed their success as collective rather than individual, asserting they belong to nothing and belong to everyone and describing music as a vehicle for buried voices.
- The group did not make overt political remarks during their onstage acceptance and later briefly shared an “Abolish ICE” image on Instagram Stories.
- Former guitarist Brady Ebert and some fans criticized the posts as pandering, and reports say the band has not issued a separate public reply.
