Turnstile put "Blackout" out on July 28, 2021, the third single ahead of Glow On, the post-hardcore band's third album, and it lands somewhere between melodic hardcore and straight-ahead hardcore punk, with echoes of Bad Brains and Snapcase. It also carried the band onto both the Mainstream Rock and Hot Hard Rock Songs charts.
Turnstile directed the animated video themselves, with Alexis Jamet and Logan Triplett leading the animation and singer Brendan Yates steering the creative direction alongside collaborator Anthony Miralles. It's all stark black and white: silhouettes of the band playing inside a surreal, glitching world.
