In the ad, the skaters sit atop a ramp, eating Taco Bell, when they suddenly notice Hawk getting ready to drop in. One skater exclaims, 鈥淚s that Tony Hawk?鈥 as Turnstile鈥檚 music kicks in and Hawk descends the ramp. The energetic placement underscores Taco Bell鈥檚 strategy of aligning with alternative and youth-focused music and culture, with Turnstile鈥檚 fast-rising profile making them an ideal fit.
鈥淪EEIN鈥 STARS鈥 and 鈥淏IRDS鈥 were released in April as part of a dual single rollout ahead of the band鈥檚 third studio album, NEVER ENOUGH, which dropped earlier this month via Roadrunner Records. The project has garnered acclaim for expanding Turnstile鈥檚 sonic palette while retaining their punk-fueled core. The Taco Bell placement marks one of the band鈥檚 most significant brand collaborations to date.
The campaign also showcases Hawk鈥檚 own customized Luxe Cravings Box, which includes a cheese quesadilla, crunchy taco, and other items personally selected by the skate icon. Fans can also build their own version of the combo for $5, $7, or $9.
In addition to the commercial, Turnstile are preparing to hit the road this fall for a headline North American tour in support of NEVER ENOUGH. The tour launches Oct. 19 in Orlando, Florida, and includes a diverse support lineup featuring Amyl and The Sniffers, Blood Orange, Mannequin Pussy, and others. Dates run through early December and include stops in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Turnstile鈥檚 crossover appeal continues to expand, with previous collaborations including work with Blood Orange and a 2022 Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song.
