been listening to a lot of Deftones lately and trying to catch my gf up to a band she incidentally missed, which naturally led me back to Glassjaw, especially their 2000s banger Worship & Tribute, & the song I put on every playlist & mix cd 20 years ago youtu.be/pyLFltBQid0?...
Banger album, super underrated.
i saw some interviews of Daryl Palumbo apologizing for sexist lyrics (from a hardcore band of 20 yr olds in 1997) and saying "we werent that good a band but we made interesting soundscapes" or whatever, and im like brother, brother, reel it back
one of the most influential post-hardcore bands after Fugazi, and the early lyrics were already addressed by later lyrics lmao
also mac glocky's best work to date capturing a band & vocalist's whole deal which is what had me listening to them again last time youtu.be/JqGeVTEgCoU?...
One way I judge a band's importance is if I played music would I learn their songs to practice, if I was in a band would I feel the need to cover them, and Glassjaw's an easy call. could prolly even convince a metal band to take a go at Stuck Pig youtu.be/oqLhMN5FrQ0?...
