Yes, the first-ever stage dive at the Tiny Desk occurs during Turnstile's set, but not before a wild reimagination of the hardcore band's wide-ranging sound.

PinkPantheress

For the chronically online, PinkPantheress has become a soundtrack, vision board and guide. Backed by a band (and sans autotune), the pop star swaps out glitched-out samples for guitar riffs and softer, jazzier moments.

PUP

Existential dread never sounded more joyful or uplifting than it does in the hands of PUP. The Canadian pop-punk group confronts world-weary discontent with deadpan humor, hard-earned wisdom and a lot of heart.
