Bristol’s Glass Violet consist of Tom Hurdiss (Vocals, Guitar), Alex John (Guitar, Vocals)
Matt West (Drums), Josh Walsh (Bass), Declan Pollard (Synth / Keys). Barely a year into their career, they have been turning heads on their local scene.
Lets see what they have been up to:
Chemicals
Fans Oasis ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’ film, will have often pondered, what do Oasis and Kasabian merged sound like. ‘Chemicals’ offers up that alternate reality. Earnest and determined to escape lifes shackles, they have evoked their working class rock ‘n’ roll. It also leans on the another of Oasis’ touring partners, the criminally underrated Soundtracks Of Our Lives. Their sun-drenched rock is oozing through this.
Hurdiss’ vocals are too indebted to Tom Meighan here. However, Liam was too Ian Brown long before Creation Records knew about him.
Over The Moor
A far reaching colossus! They have caressed the grey tinged horizons of the UK with a freedom that only gutsy British rock ‘n’ roll can.
Melodic, escapist and with Kasabian’s ‘Bless This Acid House’ in their hearts, they have hit upon a unifying tonic. One that, is absolutely needed in 2020.
