  • Turnstile On Former Guitarist Brady Ebert’s Arrest: “We Have No Language Left For Brady”

    As previously reported, former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert was recently arrested on charges of attempted second degree murder and first degree assault after running a car into William Yates, the father of Turnstile singer Brendan Yates. Now, the band have officially commented on the situation.

    The group told Rolling Stone the following:

    “Turnstile cut ties with Brady Ebert in 2022 in response to a consistent pattern of harmful behavior affecting himself, the band, and the community. After exhausting every available resource to support his access to help and recovery, a boundary ultimately had to be set when healthy communication was no longer possible and he began threatening violence.

    In the years since, his baseless tirades have continued in public. We never addressed it. We chose to protect his privacy and the circumstances around his departure, even when he did nothing to be deserving of that protection. Over the past few months, his threats only escalated further.

    This past week, that violence led to a physical attack when Brady went to the house of Brendan’s parents and used his vehicle to run over Brendan’s father, causing severe physical trauma. We are grateful that Mr. Yates survived, has successfully undergone surgery, and we’re hoping for the best possible outcome in his recovery.

    We have no language left for Brady. Please respect our privacy at this time.”

    “We are beyond excited to announce we are now signed to @purenoiserecs A few months ago we went in to record some songs with our now seems like fifth band member @randyleboeuf we knew we has to come out swinging because honestly, we always do. We are never, and will never be, satisfied by putting out the same thing twice. We once again pushed ourselves to make even crazier songs. Randy pushed us to be the best band we can be YET AGAIN. Pure Noise recognizing us was a dream dome true working with a label who actively wants to see us grow is truly a gift and the greatest privilege of our career to date. In the Name of the Father (out 4.23.26) is just the beginning.”

  • Former Turnstile Guitarist Brady Ebert Accused Of Driving His Car Into Brendan Yates’ Father

    As previously reported, ex-Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert was recently arrested on charges of attempted second degree murder and first degree assault. Now, The Baltimore Banner are reporting that the arrest was related to an incident in which he ran his car into William Yates, the father of Turnstile singer Brendan Yates. Police said Ebert was caught on surveillance footage at Yates’ home, honking and shouting obscenities. He then struck William in the driveway. William, who suffered trauma to his legs, claims Ebert later returned, saying he “deserved it.” He also confirmed that Ebert has continued to cause issues following his firing from Turnstile. The guitarist will have a bail review hearing later today (April 2).

  • D.D. Verni On New Overkill Album: “We’re Probably Looking At A Release Early Next Year”

    During an appearance on The New York Hardcore Chronicles Live!, Overkill’s D.D. Verni offered an update on the band’s new album. He says they are “probably looking at a release early next year.”

    Verni said the following when asked about the injury that is keeping him from touring:

    “Ah, well, there’s a few different reasons for that, but I would say probably the main one at this point is that I just need to kind of rest this arm some. And we’re just support on this [tour]. This isn’t our tour; this is a TESTAMENT tour. We’re just kind of tagging along. I had another surgery done a little while ago, and just at this point, for something like this, I’m, like, ‘All right, maybe it’s best I just sit this one out.’ So our friend Christian [Olde Wolbers, ex-FEAR FACTORY] is filling in. And it’s just rolling on.”

    He continued:

    “I had the surgery once, I did all the P.T. [physical therapy]. They told me I was good. I went out on the road, and I completely ripped it off again. And I came back and I had to do it all over again. [I had] rotator cuff and a bicep tear — on both shoulders. It’s just old-guy shit. But now if I blow it off again, if it tears off again, it’s shoulder replacement, and I’m really trying to avoid that. But you know what’s fucked up, though? It’s only playing bass. I can’t play sitting down anymore at all. I can play standing up, but if I sit with my arm kind of locked like that, I can’t play it. I can’t even get through a single song. But I can on a guitar. I don’t know. It’s something about the way I hold the pick and the amount [of weight and pressure] I’m putting on a specific spot. But that’s the way it goes right now. I gotta get strong and get it back to place so I don’t have to fucking worry about that shit anymore.”

    He also confirmed that he is still a member of the group and has contributed to their new album:

    “Oh, yeah. I’m writing right now. I have most of the new OVERKILL record done, demoed up, for the most part ready to go. I just did a couple of new things yesterday. I thought it was ready to go. Then I had a couple other things that I wanted to add. So, for the most part it’s all done. I gave it to Blitz [OVERKILL singer Bobby Ellsworth], I guess, a while ago, and he’s been noodling around with it. So over the next — I don’t know — six months or so, probably we’ll jump in the studio somewhere along the way. And I would think we’re probably looking at a release early next year, February, March, something like that. We got a couple of calls about some tours and some things then. So we’ll see.”

  • Alice Cooper Recruits Guitarist Anna Cara

    Alice Cooper has recruited guitarist Anna Cara for his upcoming live shows. She is filling in for Nita Strauss, who is currently awaiting the birth of her first child.

    Cooper commented:

    “Nita found a brilliant British female guitarist to fill in for her while she is on maternity leave. Anna Cara is a beautiful dynamic shredder in the vein of Nita but with a style of her own. She will fit in with our gang perfectly while Nita is away and we can’t wait for the sick things to meet her. Welcome to the show, Anna!”

    Cara continued:

    “This is like a dream come true, to join Alice and his great band. Back when I started playing guitar at 14, I was watching Alice Cooper live shows on YouTube dreaming of joining one day! Nita Strauss is a tough act to follow, and she’s been so encouraging to me this past month, so I am looking forward to showing everyone who I am and what I can do.”

    Strauss added:

    “When I was asked in an interview who I thought was the best up and coming guitarist, I had no hesitation in answering ‘Anna Cara.’ Anna’s precision and soulful, emotional playing will make her an amazing asset to the Cooper tour! Working with Alice for 12 years has been the experience of a lifetime and I look forward to seeing you all back on the road (with a +1 along for the ride!) Until that time comes, I know that the show is in good hands and the fans are in for a treat!”
