Australian label We Are Unified (UNFD) signs Glass Cloud
March 8, 2012 - UNFD will further develop their relationship with indie powerhouse label Equal Vision, by signing on to release the new Double A-Side single from Glass Cloud, as well as their forthcoming album due this Winter. The relationship has seen the labels collaborate on We Came As Romans and Say Anything.
While Glass Cloud is a new band, they come with a pedigree that is matched by the professionalism and originality displayed in their music. After years of touring and performing around the world with various bands, vocalist Jerry Roush finally has a band to call his own. The former frontman for Sky Eats Airplane and Of Mice & Men has joined forces with 8-string guitarist Joshua Travis [The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza], bassist Travis Sykes and drummer Chad Hasty to create Glass Cloud.
The Hampton, VA-based band is currently in San Diego, CA recording their debut full-length album at Lambesis Studios, with Joshua Travis also serving as producer.
Musically, Glass Cloud offers a sense of controlled chaos fueled by Roush’s deep, ferocious growls and distinct, gritty cleans. Travis’ phenomenal guitar work and ability to constantly surprise listeners stands out as he displays the perfect balance between energetic, driving intricacies and calmer progressions that carry a dark, eerie tone.
The charismatic Roush also boasts unabashedly about the remarkable caliber of musical proficiency within the band, and specifically about the creative connection between himself and Travis stating, “From the moment he became involved in this band, he was sending me fully finished tracks left and right, songs that were blowing my mind. Musically, Josh is a beast…the dude is a musical machine. We meshed so well, right from the start, making tracks that had no limits to them. I couldn’t have asked for a better and more prolific guitarist to accompany me in this new musical endeavor. And with Josh being the producer of the debut Glass Cloud record, we know that we are making the exact album that we want to make.”
“We have been working intensely in the studio, but it will definitely pay off when we introduce something new and fresh to the scene,” Travis concludes. “I don’t think I could be more excited about a project.”
Glass Cloud will spend 2012 on the road supporting their forthcoming album, with Australian tour dates not far in the distance.
Their debut Double A-Side “Glass Cloud” single will be released on March 20, 2012 on iTunes via UNFD.
