Turnstile are the newest act to play a Tiny Desk live performance for NPR. Whereas the hardcore band stored issues largely tame all through the intimate set, a full mosh pit broke out throughout the previous couple of minutes of the efficiency, with frontman Brendan Yates desk-diving into the group.
The Baltimore outfit performed a five-song set on the NPR workplace, all culled from their newest album, NEVER ENOUGH. The band added a keyboard participant and a horn part for the particular gig, as they carried out the songs “DREAMING,” “SUNSHOWER,” “I CARE,” “NEVER ENOUGH,” and “BIRDS.”

It was throughout “BIRDS” that the attendees got here ahead and began to mosh proper in entrance of the band. Yates took that as his cue to leap on prime of the desk and dive into the viewers to get some crowd-surfing in earlier than returning behind the desk to complete the track — executing the primary ever “desk dive” in NPR historical past.
