Turnstile reveal Elton John collaboration on NEVER ENOUGH companion album
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Turnstile have confirmed NEVER ENOUGH: VERSIONS, a "reimagined" companion to their Grammy-winning 2025 album NEVER ENOUGH, will be released on 28 August via Roadrunner Records, alongside a fresh run of US tour dates. The Baltimore band describe the project as neither a remix nor a covers album, and its release is notable chiefly for the remarkable breadth of artists involved, spanning pop, electronic and death metal, which reinforces the group's genre-defying reputation.
The most eye-catching contributor is Elton John, a self-professed Turnstile fan, alongside Slayyyter, Blood Orange, Four Tet, Hayley Williams, Faye Webster, A. G. Cook, Julien Baker, Alex G, Oklou, Porches, Floating Points, Chanel Beads, Shabaka, Kettama and Mustafa. Several names have Baltimore roots, including Panda Bear, Angel Du$t, Nourished By Time, Dan Deacon, Brandon Woody, Rod Lee and death metal act Dying Fetus. The accompanying tour begins next month with 16 dates featuring varied support lineups including Clipse, Thundercat, Vince Staples, Pennywise and Yves Tumor.

Turnstile are a hardcore punk band from Baltimore who broke through to a much wider audience with their 2025 album NEVER ENOUGH, which went on to win a Grammy. The band have built a reputation for mixing heavy, aggressive music with pop and dance influences, which has made them popular with fans well outside the usual hardcore scene.
They have now announced a companion record called NEVER ENOUGH: VERSIONS, which reworks material from the original album with a long list of guest musicians. The band say it is not a straightforward remix or covers project, and the appeal lies in the unusually wide range of artists taking part, spanning pop, electronic and metal, alongside several musicians from Turnstile's home city of Baltimore.
The record is set for release in late August through the label Roadrunner, and arrives alongside a run of live tour dates. It matters because it reflects how far Turnstile have moved beyond their hardcore roots, drawing collaborators from very different musical worlds into one project.
