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 the group’s singer Brendan Yates. Despite this, his new project, Experience, said they were planning to move forward with the release of their “Stay Present” EP. However, they have since clarified that Ebert is no longer a member of the band.

Experience said the following:

“We want to follow up on our last post because we know it left some questions.
There’s a difference between acknowledging what Brady meant to us and excusing what happened. What he did is fucked up. Plain and simple.

This situation has been heavy and hard to process. We’ve been struggling to even find the words for it. We spent months building this record together, putting everything into it, and then one decision changed everything.

Brady is no longer a member of this band.

We also want to be clear that we didn’t want to make any public statement about that without him knowing first. Right now, he isn’t allowed visitors or phone calls, so we haven’t been able to have that conversation.

At the center of all of this are real people dealing with real trauma, especially the Yates family. That’s what matters most.

Our connection with Brady was rooted in trying to support growth and mental health, which makes this even harder to sit with.

We’re still processing all of this. We’re trying to move forward in a way that’s honest and doesn’t pretend any of this is okay.”
