Per anni mi sono sempre interrogato cosa fosse il groove metal e quando ho avuto la sfortunata occasione di ascoltare i Messhugah me ne sono pentito amaramente (ma mi sono anche sentito tanto fortunato in quanto riesca ad apprezzare le canzoni fatte con 4 note di piano e poco altreo e non con la calcolatrice in mano – vedi paragrafo: i 7 motivi per cui odio i Tool). Per altrettanti anni ho avuto il pallino dei Glassjaw morendo dalla voglia di vederli. Purtroppo quando ho avuto l'occasione di vederli quel periodo era già passato e onestamente ascoltare i loro dischi [...]
Napalm Death are on stage right in front of me, still as brutal and abrasive as ever. If you close your eyes to block out the image of the four slightly pudgy middle-aged men onstage you’d be forgiven for imagining a younger troupe of players; yet that would detract from their charm, they’ve never lost that youthful desire to get in people’s faces and make noise, regardless of taste or fashion. It’s folly to measure them against modern standards of musicianship or songwriting. Taken in today’s context you’d perhaps be forgiven for taking one look [...]
Todd Weinstock (Glassjaw) on Ryan's Rock Show Ryan’s Rock Show has released an exclusive interview with former Glassjaw guitarist Todd Weinstock , in which he appears on camera for the first time in years. Weinstock and producer Marc Jordan (The Cult, Velvet Revolver)discuss their new production duo Social Security, Weinstock's new band with ex-At The Drive-In drummer Tony Haajar called Afrobots, and reminisces on his time spent in Glassjaw. “Weinstock -- who had been a member of Glassjaw from 1996 to 2004, and appeared on all releases from the [...]
Off the back of their incredible live show at The Forum in London earlier this week, Festival Republic, promoter of The Reading & Leeds Festival, are proud to announce the addition of GLASSJAW to the line-up for the NME/Radio 1 Stage. One of the most innovative bands of our times, the Grammy nominated New Yorkers have often been cited as a key influence in the post-hardcore genre. After the release of their debut EP ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ in 1997, the first full length album ‘Everything You [...]

It is April Fools Day so this better not turn out to be a hoax, but today over on the official Festival Sites they have made quite the announcement. Glassjaw have been added to the weekend and will perform on the NME / Radio 1 Stage on Saturday 27th August in Reading, and Sunday 28th August in Leeds. They join the likes of Muse, The Strokes, Death From Above 1979 and a host of other acts, not to mention hundreds that will continue to be announced right up until the August Bank Holiday weekend. Following up [...]
Embarked on their first national headlining tour in years, Glassjaw came through the Starland Ballroom for one of the final shows drawing their tour to a close. With them, they
I was minding my own business Wednesday night just jeering Carmelo Anthony and cheering Danilo Gallinari, when a friend’s friend whammied my world via donation of one single (!) blast of her super-weed. I knew the ganj was trouble cuz I immediately I began to hack, seize at my own chest, and think “Aw shit. [...]
Glassjaw is set to play Sayreville's Starland Ballroom this Saturday, March 26th. Want to go? Of course you do! If you don't already have tickets and can't scrap together the funds
Since their inception, Glassjaw's strength has always centered around a progressive approach to aggressive alt-rock and hardcore-derived music. While the majority of their songs have been go-for-the-throat rockers, it was the imaginative way the band doled out their fierce musical lacerations that stuck a chord with audiences. With the release of their new Coloring Book EP, however, the group has revealed a more ambitious agenda by settling on a surprisingly patient and reflective approach that relies more on developing a sense of space and constructing textured soundscapes than it does on brute force. Of all the [...]

Glassjaw With all this talk on Radiohead, The Strokes, Arcade Fire, and whatever buzz band orbiting around the blogosphere; it pains me to see a certain band completely changing the game of the music business get ignored. Enter Glassjaw . If you're unfamiliar, the loosely categorized post-hardcore group has been influencing bands you probably hate since 1993. A large majority of the emo-core and scream-o genre can be blamed on Glassjaw’s erratic and organized chaos of a record, 2000’s Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About [...]
Between St. Patty's Day and Memorial Day, music lovers have a new holiday to celebrate - April 16th's Record Store Day. Last Friday we presented 25 of our top picks , but with new releases continuing to stream in, the most-wanted list continues to expand. R.E.M., Regina Spektor, Glassjaw, and Built to Spill are among the latest acts to have announced exclusive releases for this year's RSD, and you can find all the details below. The list of RSD releases is sure to keep growing, so keep dropping by Consequence of Sound to stay informed. [...]
Photos by Moe Castro “You don't know! You don't know! You don't know!” The crowd chanted in unison as the drum loop intro to “You Think You're (John Fucking Lennon)” set off the show last Thursday at Center Stage . Slowly the boys came out one by one and the audience promptly lost their shit. As the first verse started with the huge, biting riff and manic vocals, it was a homecoming of sorts for me, both as a fan and as a musician. As a fan because they are one [...]
Of great shows big and small: ► With a new album "Wit's End" on the way in April, singer-songwriter Cass McCombs plays the Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock, joined by Big Search and Frank Fairfield . ► Har Mar Superstar and Marijuana Deathsquads wind up their residency at the Satellite — and it's been quite a party — but the curiosity tonight is opener Samantha Ronson , performing with a live band. ► Sebadoh's "Bakesale/Harmacy Remembering Time Tour" moves across town to [...]
If you're Glassjaw and you're in the middle of your first major tour in roughly a decade you could easily cash in on your past glory and close out your set with a couple of old-school face-rippers. Everyone would go home battered and bruised, safe and happy in the knowledge that they got exactly what they expected. But that's not what happened Thursday night. Instead when the band took the stage for their encore, they launched immediately into "Black Nurse," the first track from their new prog and space rock-driven tour-only EP, Coloring Book , and didn't [...]

In den 90er Jahren galten sie als eine der avantgardistischsten Post-Hardcore-Bands. 2002 ist auf Warner ihre letzte Platte erschienen, 2005 verabschiedeten sie sich mit "El Mark" in den Vorruhestand. Jetzt sind Glassjaw wieder zurück. Seit fünf Jahren teasen Frontmann Daryl Palumbo und seine Mitstreiter neue Songs von Glassjaw an. Sei es durch Demo-Ausschnitte auf der Webseite oder Twitter-Updates. Manch ein Fan verglich diese Hinhaltetaktik bereits mit Guns 'n' Roses' "Chinese Democracy". Ende 2010 war es dann soweit. Die Band veröffentlichte fünf Singles, die mittlerweile als [...]
