GoFundMe for Longineu Parsons III

gofundme

A GoFundMe has been started for medical bills for Longineu Parsons III, the former drummer of Yellowcard.

LP3 is facing a life-threatening dental emergency that has sadly prevented him from working and performing. He’s dealing with a rapidly spreading infection and is in urgent need of emergency dental surgery. His medical bills are mounting, and he truly needs our help. LP3 is a vital part of several projects, and any support you can offer would mean the world.

Review: Turnstile – Never Enough

Turnstile - Never Enough

How exactly does a band that has blown up as much as Turnstile has these past four years follow up the breakaway success of Glow On? By simply going bigger, bolder, and recognizing that there is Never Enough Turnstile music in this world. Never Enough is now the fourth studio album from the Baltimore-based hardcore band, and the set was produced by lead vocalist Brendan Yates, veteran hitmaker Will Yip, and the English record producer A.G. Cook. You can feel a bit of each producer’s stamp on this record, with Yates’ influence coming in the strongest of the three. The promotional period of this new era of Turnstile kicked off in March when billboards around Los Angeles were donned with the album name of Never Enough paired with the sky-blue aesthetic of the cover art. The band announced a release date shortly thereafter of June 6th, 2025, and also recognized guitarist Meg Mills as a permanent member of Turnstile. Much like many other key artists have done recently, Turnstile accompanied Never Enough with a feature-length visual companion that hit theaters yesterday. While some of the highs of this record are not quite as breathtaking as what was found on Glow On, Never Enough re-solidifies Turnstile as the most creative band in the hardcore genre. The possibilities seem limitless for this talented artist who continues to find new and interesting ways to convey the right emotions and messaging through their unique music.
