Franz Lyons Talks Turnstile Grammy Win

Turnstile

Franz Lyons of Turnstile recently joined the Loudwire Nights show:

What was in his bag at the Grammy Awards: “At the end of the night, it was two Grammy replica trophies, so that’s all that matters. You don’t get your trophy until July. So, I have the bag, I’m like, ‘Yo, I got this sick ass bag…give me my own trophy today!’ So I set the Grammy in my bag and the whole backstage stopped. I was like, ‘Y’all let me win, I just want to put it in my bag. This looks cool.’ And the lady was like, ‘My god. My god.’ Where am I going to run to?!

Turnstile Talk With Rolling Stone About Grammy Noms

Turnstile

Turnstile talked with Rolling Stone about their historic Grammy nominations:

Genre definitely can be a good guide for finding sounds that you like in certain worlds. Hardcore is maybe more of a culture and a community. At a hardcore show, you can have bands that all sound very different, but there’s a shared essence.

We grew up going to punk and hardcore shows. And we grew up listening to rock. We grew up listening to metal, to alternative, to R&B, to rap, to electronic music. We listened to all kinds of things. We’ve never denied ourselves the musical influences that have been a part of our lives growing up, what our parents were playing when we were kids. Everyone is kind of just a sponge of what they are drawn to. I think it’s important to not put a box around what you naturally are drawn to.

Turnstile & My Chemical Romance Billboard Charts

Turnstile debuted at #9 on the Billboard charts and My Chemical Romance returned to #6 with their Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge re-release.

My Chemical Romance’s Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, released in 2004, reaches the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for the first time, as the set reenters at No. 6 following a deluxe reissue. It previously peaked at No. 28 in 2005. In total, Three Cheers marks the fourth top 10-charting effort for the band, and its second-highest-charting set — second only to the No. 2-peaking The Black Parade in 2006. Three Cheers also marks the band’s first top 10 since April 2014, when the compilation May Death Never Stop You: The Greatest Hits 2001-2013 reached No. 9.

In the tracking week ending June 12, Three Cheers earned nearly 44,000 equivalent album units (up 809%), with album sales comprising 37,000 (up 2,987% — it reenters at a new peak of No. 2 on Top Album Sales; it’s the group’s best sales week since Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys debuted with 112,000 in 2010), SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 8.88 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album’s 44,000 units earned mark the band’s best week by that metric  since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by units in December 2014.
