Turnstile Respond to Ex-Guitarist Brady Ebert’s Arrest: “We Have No Language Left For Brady”

Turnstile have issued a statement following the shocking arrest of their former guitarist, Brady Ebert. The 33-year-old musician, who was dismissed from Turnstile in 2022 amid a reportedly filed peace order, was arrested on March 31st on charges of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault.

According to police reports, Ebert allegedly intentionally ran over William Yates, the 79-year-old father of Turnstile vocalist Brendan Yates, on his property. William reportedly suffered severe leg trauma requiring surgery.

In a statement to Rolling Stone, Turnstile addressed the incident and Ebert’s history with the band:

“Turnstile cut ties with Brady Ebert in 2022 in response to a consistent pattern of harmful behavior affecting himself, the band, and the community. After exhausting every available resource to support his access to help and recovery, a boundary ultimately had to be set when healthy communication was no longer possible and he began threatening violence.

In the years since, his baseless tirades have continued in public. We never addressed it. We chose to protect his privacy and the circumstances around his departure, even when he did nothing to be deserving of that protection. Over the past few months, his threats only escalated further.

This past week, that violence led to a physical attack when Brady went to the house of Brendan’s parents and used his vehicle to run over Brendan’s father, causing severe physical trauma. We are grateful that Mr. Yates survived, has successfully undergone surgery, and we’re hoping for the best possible outcome in his recovery.

We have no language left for Brady. Please respect our privacy at this time.”

Reports indicate that Ebert had increasingly posted negative commentary about his former bandmates on social media in recent months. In February, he was also dismissed from his new band, The S.E.T., due to “his ridiculous comments and behavior toward the members of our band and our community.”

This statement marks Turnstile’s first public response to the allegations and the incident involving William Yates.
