Published April 2, 2026 at 6:08 pm
A founding member of rock band Turnstile is in serious legal trouble. Brady Ebert, who helped form the Maryland rock group, was arrested for allegedly attempting to murder Brendan Yates’ father following a heated argument. Yes, you read that right — attempted murder charges.
According to reports, things escalated fast. The confrontation happened in Maryland, and it allegedly ended with Ebert hitting Yates’ father with his car. A car. That’s not a shoving match gone wrong — that’s a full-on attack with a vehicle.
Ebert co-founded Turnstile, which has become one of the biggest names in modern rock. Brendan Yates is the band’s frontman, making this whole situation deeply personal and messy. An argument between bandmates’ families spiraled into something genuinely dangerous.
The arrest marks a shocking turn for the rocker, who’s been part of the Baltimore metal scene for years. No word yet on bail, court dates, or what specifically sparked the argument that led to this nightmare scenario. But one thing’s clear: this is the kind of drama that doesn’t just blow over.
