Turnstile have once again crossed paths with fast food and pop culture, this time teaming up with Tony Hawk and Taco Bell for a fresh ad campaign. The Baltimore hardcore favourites had their music featured in a Taco Bell spot back in 2022, but this new collab takes things up a notch, pairing the band’s high energy sound with skateboarding’s most iconic name.
The campaign highlights Tony Hawk’s Build Your Own Luxe Cravings Box, a $5.99 feast that lets fans stack up their favourite Taco Bell picks. The hook? Beyond cheap eats, the box unlocks exclusive in game gear for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 through the Taco Bell app starting July 11.
The ad features two tracks off Turnstile’s Never Enough album, ‘SEEIN’ STARS’ and ‘BIRDS’. Both songs bring that signature Turnstile mix of melodic hardcore and feel good groove, matching Tony Hawk’s legacy of fearless creativity. The whole thing’s a polished blend of underground attitude and mainstream reach.
This isn’t Turnstile’s first brush with the Bell. In 2022, ‘HOLIDAY’ and ‘T.L.C. TURNSTILE LOVE CONNECTION’ from Glow On soundtracked the brand’s Nacho Fries. Now they’re levelling up, proving yet again that hardcore can thrive far beyond dive bars and basements.
Inspiring Others
Tony Hawk calls the campaign a full circle moment. “Taco Bell was my fuel in the early days… I hope it inspires others chasing their passion to keep pushing, keep grinding and maybe grab a taco along the way.”
Keep an eye out for the ad, grab a box and maybe unlock some in game flair while you’re at it.
If you haven’t spun Turnstile’s Never Enough yet, what are you waiting for? Now’s the time, it’s Turnstile at their boldest. Blending hardcore roots with massive, genre bending hooks that hit as hard as ever!
