Brady Ebert , former guitarist of the band Turnstile, publicly criticized his former colleagues after a post by the band on social media defending the message "Abolish ICE" (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
SiriusXM content creator and presenter Jesea Lee shared an Instagram last Tuesday, the 27th, reporting that Turnstile had called for the abolition of ICE in a social media post.
Next, the band's former guitarist left two comments on the post, saying that Turnstile was just "sucking up to the audience" and that nobody in the band really cares about ethical or social issues, also accusing the vocalist of alleged financial misconduct at a previous benefit concert.
“Nobody in Turnstile cares about ethics or social issues in general, they’re just pandering to the public. At their first free show, they claimed all the proceeds would go to homeless healthcare. We raised $10,000, but I saw Brendan [ Yates , vocalist] steal $4,000 and claim he needed to ‘pay the merchandise bill,’ which was a lie,” Ebert alleged [via Loudwire ].
Rumors of a legal dispute between Brady Ebert and Turnstile
In a second comment, Brady Ebert also mentioned rumors of a legal process between him and band members after his departure in 2022. He stated that the court denied a restraining order request due to lack of legal basis, and challenged the spread of “false information” about his relationship with the band.
“My friends also filed for a restraining order, and guess what, they had two lawyers with them. Meanwhile, I went to court alone and the judge DENIED the request because there was no law defining the criteria for granting a restraining order that they could meet. In other words, they had no grounds to file the complaint. And it all came down to text messages they showed the judge, and the judge agreed with me without me having to testify. So, next time, before spreading misinformation, say that to my face,” he stated.
Turnstile, known for their hardcore punk sound and recent success with the album Never Enough , has not yet officially responded to the accusations from their former member. The band is one of the headliners at Lollapalooza Brazil 2026.
