Turnstile Cover ‘Burning Fight’ From Zack de la Rocha’s Pre-Rage Band

Turnstile just dropped a killer cover of "Burning Fight" for BBC 1's Live Lounge Late session, and hardcore heads know exactly why this one matters ^*. The original track comes from Inside Out's 1990 EP *No Spiritual Surrender*, the band Zack de la Rocha fronted a full year before he went on to form Rage Against the Machine ^*. It's a deep cut that connects two generations of politically charged hardcore fury, and Turnstile absolutely honored it—keeping that raw, unpolished hardcore energy intact instead of trying to reinvent the wheel ^*.

The BBC session wasn't just a one-song affair, either ^*. Turnstile also ripped through "I CARE" and "DULL" from their latest album *NEVER ENOUGH*, proving once again why they're one of the most exciting live bands in heavy music right now ^*. The band's ability to channel the spirit of early '90s hardcore while still sounding completely fresh is exactly what makes them festival gold, and they're about to prove it all summer long ^*.

Speaking of which, if you've been sleeping on catching Turnstile live, now's the time to wake up ^*. They're hitting Kilby Block Party in Salt Lake City on May 15th, then rolling through Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee on June 12th, with a festival run that stretches all the way into October including Osheaga, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Bumbershoot, and Austin City Limits ^*. That's a murderer's row of festival slots for a band that absolutely destroys every stage they touch.
