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[…]

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.

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[…]

The shoegaze duo Saint God created this beautifully intense video after they met Italian dancer Giulia Piana in their home town of Tel Aviv. Together with the ambient light she turns the monuments at Edith Wolfson Park into a mythical place that complements the mood of the song “Narasvette” perfectly.
Badlands can be beautiful and deadly and Catherina Jaunviksna conveys that feeling in her new album “Locus”. Dark, thick, 80s-inspired synth layers and deadpan vocals convey a mood of inevitability, but then you can also find beauty and hope when the songs soar with bright melodies. It is a record[…]
