.....Singer Daryl Palumbo's
voice is so amazing, only due to the fact that pure emotion is being taken and
distributed through lyrics. You can definitely hear some of the influences of
Glassjaw within the music. I heard a band with a menacingly dark sound and
penchant for "jamming" that kind of grows on you.
......As for their live show,
Glassjaw's songs fron thier album, Worship and Tribute, contains beautiful
riffs, powerful lyrics, and raw emotions Glassjaw's live show is much heavier
than anything they could capture in the studio. Not to worry, none of the
complexity of their studio work is sacrificed in the translation from the
studio to their live show. As a matter of fact, everything just gets amplified
on a larger scale. The intensity, the heaviness, and the incredible energy the
band puts out, is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
.......This band goes off, and
the audience goes off with them, GLASSJAW held the audience's attention for the
full length of their set. Daryl Palumbo is an intense performer, whose very
real persona is based on his very real inner turmoil. You can hear the pain in
his voice and you can feel what he's feeling inside being channeled through
that voice.
......He and the rest of the
band, Justin Beck and Todd N. Weinstock on guitars, Manuel Carrero
(x-Stillsuit) on bass, and newly recruited drummer Larry Gorman (x-Orange9mm),
accomplish everything they set out to do with their live show. If you ever hear
a more emotionally charged hardcore album, please let me know. This NYC
progressive hardcore outfit packs so much anger and feeling into their music
that it's hard not to feel it with them. Masters of their music, these guys are
seriously into what they do. Most of Daryl Palumbo's lyrics focus on rejection
and getting dumped and are extremely angry with the female half of the species.
While he's screaming intense lines like "If I can't have you no one
will" the instruments are creating cutting riffs that pound into your
ears. This album is non-stop aggression on all of the tracks. Musically their
tunes are As thrash-by-numbers as you can get. But they do display an
authenticity and Vigor in their playing that grabs your attention, Go check
these guys out they Rock! By
