The Baltimore band's rendition of 'I Wanna Be Adored' is a clean combination of their dreamiest impulses and their rock-forward energy. Taking the tempo up just a tad from the original, Turnstile bring a touch of restlessness to the cover; frontman Brendan Yates powers through his vocal performance with passion, nailing a few arching belts as the band plays behind him with poise.
