In a surprising turn of events, a former guitarist of Turnstile, Brady Ebert, has been ousted from his new band after making disparaging comments about his previous group. Last weekend marked a significant achievement for Turnstile, as they celebrated their first Grammy wins, claiming prestigious awards for Best Rock Album and Best Metal Performance. However, this victory was shortly overshadowed by Ebert's provocative remarks on social media, where he criticized Turnstile's stance on issues like immigration. He described their anti-ICE statement as mere "pandering to their audience" and expressed doubts about the band's genuine concern for ethics or social matters, even alleging that they mishandled charity funds.
In response to this controversy, Ebert's current band, known as the S.E.T., swiftly announced his removal. They took to social media to declare, "Brady is no longer a member of THE S.E.T. We will not support his absurd comments and actions against our band members and the community we hold dear." The band emphasized their commitment to promoting the vibrant Baltimore hardcore scene and expressed gratitude for their supporters.
Just a couple of weeks prior, the S.E.T. had unveiled plans for their debut EP, titled "Self Evident Truth," set to release next month through Flatspot Records. At present, they have made just one track available called "TMT." Brady Ebert had previously parted ways with Turnstile in 2022 amid a contentious split that reportedly involved legal proceedings. This latest drama raises intriguing questions about the dynamics within music communities and the public's expectations of artists when it comes to social responsibility.
