"On Sunday our band won 2 Grammys for Best Rock Album & Best Metal Performance. We never thought we'd be in these rooms, but we are very grateful to be here. This band has never been about the individual, but rather about a collective searching for a common thread in a world where those threads are being hidden from us."
"We're existing in a time of heightened state violence. We are watching people be pushed out of their homes here in America, in Palestine, in Sudan, in Iran, everywhere, as if they don't belong to them. As if we don't belong to each other. Music is a vehicle for voices that are buried, that are searching, that are alien. Turnstile has always existed as an alien thing."
Turnstile won two Grammys, for Best Rock Album and Best Metal Performance, and shared footage of Brendan Yates' speech alongside a written statement. The band described itself as a collective seeking common threads amid forces that hide identity and belonging. The statement warned of a heightened state violence and cited people being pushed from homes in America, Palestine, Sudan and Iran. The band framed music as a vehicle for buried, searching and alien voices and said Turnstile has always existed as an alien thing. Some hardcore critics, including a TikToker, called the band posers for not naming specific atrocities during Grammy speeches.
