A former guitarist of the Baltimore hardcore band Turnstile is accused of intentionally hitting the lead singer’s father with a car and leaving him with severe trauma to both of his legs.

Brady Ebert, 33, of Silver Spring, was taken into custody on Wednesday on charges of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault, and a district court commissioner ordered him to be held without bond.

Turnstile in 2022 announced that it was “parting ways” with Ebert.

His bail review hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. in the District Court of Maryland for Montgomery County.

Andy Alpert, Ebert’s attorney, could not immediately be reached for comment.

Montgomery County Police responded on March 29 to a home on Timberlake Drive in Silver Spring, where officers discovered William Yates, 79, in the front yard with “trauma to his lower extremities.”

Yates is the father of Brendan Yates, 36, the lead singer of Turnstile. A representative for the band didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Family members told detectives that Ebert showed up at the home, honked his horn and yelled obscenities. Ebert then returned and intentionally hit William Yates with his car in the driveway, police allege.

Detectives reported that they obtained surveillance video of the attack.

Police reported that the footage shows William Yates warning his daughter and her husband, who had just parked at the home, that Ebert was coming around the corner.

Ebert then swerved around the corner toward William Yates, police assert, who backed up into the driveway to avoid getting hit. He threw a rock at Ebert’s car.

Next, Ebert placed his car in reverse as William Yates started to walk up the driveway. Police allege that Ebert then quickly accelerated, made a sharp left into the driveway and struck him as he tried to run away.

Police spoke with William Yates at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. He told them that Ebert had been causing issues with his family since being fired from the band and detailed several previous incidents.

On March 13, William Yates told investigators, he was walking in the neighborhood when Ebert pulled up, started cursing and yelling obscenities and drove at him.

Ebert narrowly missed hitting William Yates, police allege, and gave him the middle finger.

William Yates reported that Ebert had been “taunting them for a long time but that his behavior had been escalating,” police assert.

When he was on the ground waiting for first responders to arrive, William Yates stated that Ebert came back and started to yell that he “deserved it,” police claim.

Turnstile’s rise in recent years

Turnstile formed in 2010 with Yates and drummer Daniel Fang, friends from their days at Towson University, along with bassist Franz Lyon, Ebert and guitarist Sean Cullen. Across four full-length albums and lineup shuffles — Cullen and Ebert were replaced over time by Pat McCrory and Meg Mills, respectively — the quintet has become the face of hardcore, the hard-hitting genre that is increasingly influencing mainstream rock.

The success of June 2025’s “Never Enough,” which earned the band its first Grammy Awards earlier this year, has made Turnstile one of the hottest live acts in music. This summer, they’ll perform on the festival stages of Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza.

Ebert played with Turnstile through the release of its 2021 album “Glow On,” which received widespread critical acclaim and rocketed the band into the mainstream. Members announced in 2022 that they were “parting ways” with him.

Ebert launched a new hardcore band called The S.E.T., which stands for the self evident truth, but he was fired earlier this year before its self-titled EP came out.
