Black and white videos, featuring a good-looking woman and a good-looking man are so easy to love. Give me pulsating drums, and coarsely charming vocals and I’m all set! It’s no different with Jesse Mac Cormack‘s video for “Repeat”, his latest, highly atmospheric single, which grips you from the start, shakes you, sends[…]
Listen to “Shelter”, a beautiful, slow-building song about unconditional love but L.A. singer/songwriter Joy Oladokun. Joy just released her debut album “Carry” (Apple Music | Spotify) with nine more deeply personal songs and will go on a world-wide tour later this year.
It is actually hard not to be charmed by Hana and JJ, two young women who write and perform music together with extraordinary passion and enthusiasm. They have this kind of blind, effortless understanding on stage that you see rarely in a band (Warpaint comes to mind). And while their[…]
No fuss, no frills straight forward melodic alt-rock that’s what Newcastle five piece Hazels tend to create. From their recently released double single “The Cure”/”Can’t Ignore”, I chose the slightly darker “The Cure” as our Song Pick of the Day. The track boasts a driving beat right from the start, paired with a mesmerizing touch of[…]
Released today, the first full length album by LA duo Leitbur, carrying the intriguing title “Antique Travelers”. Leitbur, pronounced ‘light-brr’, is an ongoing electronic music project by Jaron Widman and Samantha Krzyston. If the band name or the album title sound familiar here on glamglare, you’re not mistaken. We recently not only featured[…]
Saving “the best” for last? Truth is, I have seen so many fantastic live acts in Austin this year, and can’t possibly pick a favorite, but I can say that much, that FEWS are very high on my personal list of memorable performances and stand-out shows. With “The Zoo” and “100 Goosebumps“, FEWS have released[…]
Our Song Pick of the Day, is titled “Summer Sun” and it feels exactly like it. Singer Karolien van Ransbeeck’s of the Belgian band Few Bits relaxed vocals contras with the relentless beat and in between there are guitars that shimmer like sunlight on a lake. Here on the East[…]
This was an event worth going all the way to Chelsea: San Francisco singer/songwriter Mike Deni, aka Geographer put on a wonderful show at the High Line Ballroom together with a 3-piece backing band, including an electric cello player. Opening was the U.K. four-piece The Crooks. Enjoy photos of the[…]
After having listened to some amazing new tracks all afternoon, I stumbled upon “Brambles” and knew from the first couple of beats that this would be my Song Pick of the Day. “Brambles” is the single from HEATH‘s six track EP “JUNE” released April 29, and aims right into the music-loving[…]
After premiering KYTES‘ new video “I Got Something” last week on glamglare, I am thrilled that the hottest band coming out of Munich, Germany right now took the time to answer a few questions in our new Offstage feature. The four indie-rocker just arrived back home from touring Europe and also playing the maybe most prestigious (industry) music festival,[…]
“Before The Dawn” is the latest self-released EP by Aaron Molyneaux, who makes music as Molyneaux. Residing in the countryside near London, Molyneaux has been making music for quite some time. It’s also been a good while since I first came across this amazing solo artist, having repeatedly listened to his previously[…]
Joy Atlas, a UK four-piece around singer/songwriter Beccy Owen just released their third single, “Drop Your Sword”, our Song Pick of the Day. It features driving intricate beats, a prominent baseline and minimalistic synths that complement Beccy’s expressive vocals. This is 2016 music at its best.
There’s something instantly gripping about “My Street”, the new single by Dear Thieves, hailing from Melbourne, Australia. The allure of “My Street”, which will be officially released May 20th, comes partly from the hard-hitting drums and relentless guitar chords, and partly from the uniquely husky vocals. Dear Thieves consist of Joel Hansen (drums) and[…]
“She’s Mine” is a catchy, instantly likable song and then on top of it comes this feel-good-video, you can’t help but break out into one big smile. When I watched “She’s Mine” for the first time, I wasn’t sure if Alex Cameron is kinda making fun of 80s bands or if[…]
“ONE”, the first installment of a two-part album by The Beautiful Fear hits glamglare’s motto spot-on: “…discover new music, revisit classics [..] and enjoy life through music”. Musically, “ONE” takes its cues from rock classics, mainly 70s Pink Floyd but also other 70s super groups like Yes, Genesis, Tangerine Dream or Mike Oldfield[…]
