“It’s unconventional and simple and just beautiful,” Turnstile’s Brendan Yates says of their new cover for triple j’s Like a Version series — the Stone Roses’ “I Wanna Be Adored.”
Turnstile ripped through covers of hardcore classics, mainly Bad Brains and Minor Threat, in their early days. Their latest, like their past few albums, expresses their musical tastes that go beyond heavy music, falling into a different, baggier lane for the studio appearance. Recorded back in January when the band brought their NEVER ENOUGH tour to Australia, the Turnstile frontman tells triple J that the song, opening the Stone Roses’ 1989 self-titled debut, is one of his “favorite[s] of all time.”

“[It has] one of the most iconic basslines of all time… With the passing of Mani, it felt like a really appropriate time to pay homage to him,” guitarist Meg Mills adds. “Definitely as a Brit, the Stone Roses were one of those bands that every kid who had any inkling toward anything alternative just knew from such an early age. Such an iconic band, and in my opinion, probably the coolest of all of the Manchester bands coming out at that time — just in a league of their own.”
