Bio
On the Outside, the latest offering from Montreal alt-rockers glo has finally arrived. The 10-song album, mixed in L.A. by producer Paul Lani (U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers), is now on the shelves and the first single, Move Along, is already moving up the rock charts. “It’s really the level of songwriting and sheer musicality that puts these guys above the rest” - Paul Lani. Rick (vocals, rhythm guitars), Eddie (guitars, bass), and Patrick (drums) first came together a few years ago and released the self-titled debut glo. The album spawned a number of songs that were featured on TV and film soundtracks, including the single Wither. It was the success of that album that landed glo with gigs in NXNE in Toronto, Canada and the ‘In the City’ music festival in Manchester, England. Currently, the band is shooting a video for Move Along and is readying for a cross-Canada tour this summer.
Press Reviews
I threw in my copy of Glo’s “On the Outside” and was blindsided by the amazing vocals and catchy chorus orchestration. The rock pop sensibility that is on display on the Montreal trio’s new album is impossible to deny from start to finish. At first I was hesitant to a new Montreal based band due to
the fact that for the last few years other then Arcade Fire there had been nothing that peaked my interest. I was blown away by “Bend” the third track off “On the Outside” and what sounds like it is a missing track from STP’s upcoming album. Rick channels the spirit of Scott Weiland in the vocal department as well as the lyrics and out of all the songs from “On the Outside” I find myself coming back to “Bend” over and over again.
Their first single “Move Along” is gaining heavy radio play and once the first chorus comes in it is hard to dislike this acoustic gem. With Paul Lani behind the glass, the producer that has worked on some of my favorite albums including Megadeaths “So Far, So Good..So What”. Lani’s pop sensibility is not lost on “On the Outside” and he has put the final touches on an album the Montreal
scene can be very proud of. If “On the Outside” is heard by the right people this could be one of Canada’s break out albums of 2010.
My only complaint is a need for more bass, I am a massive fan of the root of the song in a riff or a bass drum groove and throughout this album I find my self wanting Duff McKagan or Cliff Burton to bust out a solid jam. Every song has room for bass fills and runs but they just do not come. This is truly the only hole from start to finish on this album.
With bass absence aside this is a great album that any I Mother Earth, HIM and Fuel fan would truly love. Montreal and Canada should both be proud to provide a great rock group to the radios of Canada that has the capability and the album to score multiple number one hits. Glo is on their way to be one of Canada’s golden rock bands along side Moist, OLP and the Headstones.
