Turnpike is a five-piece hardcore band from Cebu City, Philippines, comprising of Sean Villareal on rhythm guitar, Renato John Mosqueda on lead guitar, Vinz Bartiana on drums, Kerwin Scythe Britania on bass, and Bryle Tomilap on vocal duties.

Merging influences from melodic hardcore, chaotic hardcore, and late-90s/early 00s metallic hardcore and metalcore, Turnpike manages to brew a seminal sound in such a jungle of melodies. The band’s music revolves around introspection of self, bouts against isolation, and meditations about suffering.

The band made their rousing debut in 2023 with their first EP You Vs. Everyone You Love, instantly building a following through their memorable brand of hardcore as well as their relentless live performances.

Shortly after the debut release, they wasted no time in reinventing their sound, evoking more sinister tones and darker themes into their repertoire. A series of singles, including Fatal Cleansing, Angels Weep, and Breaking Your Peace, offered a preview into the band’s next collection, Straight to the Domes of Your Heads which is now set for a November 2024 release.
