The joint for new music said a few nice words about glasschild infact they gave a whopping 9 out of 10 verdict which is excellent..
Here’s what they said….
Okay here it is once again “MY OPINION” *ahem* …..I downloaded most of glasschilds songs I really liked Lover. The music is very
Mellow and is the type of music you want to chill out to..Great lyrics and I would definitely be up for a gig!
I don’t generally like bands fronted by women(in fact none but Evanescence), however for some reason I really like Glasschild. Cathy’s voice suits the songs,there music reminds me of bands like Travis, Weezer and Nirvana except the whole songs sound different because it’s a girl singing them…..
Anyway definitely worth checking these guys out…….
the joint.
I have found, from bands that I go to see, that there are to categories. The first consists of bands who have no feedback energy from the crowd, and get on stage, do their stuff and jump around a lot, screaming down the microphone. With not much melody and people are not understanding what they are singing, they don’t attract a lot of attention.
The second group are the bands that have obviously well rehearsed, work on the same level when it comes to music, and all want the same things. They communicate well, and have a certain energy between themselves, which bounces of the audience……
Glasschild, in my opinion, certainly falls into the latter group. They have more of a mature feel to them, and know what they are doing. It is so refreshing to see a female singer, who can actually sing, with a band who relate well to her voice..
They’re not afraid to try things different and see if it works, as they played a track that they wrote in Spain, and had a bit of a Spanish feel to it. They also played a song which consisted of a mix of nursery rhymes, called BaaBaa Black sheep with a twist. It has become a personal favourite of mine..
A half hour set which just doesn’t seem long enough, smiling and playing of each others energy, looking very comfortable onstage. It’s not everyday you get to see a band that work really well together, and they where such a refreshing and mood lifting change, The lead singer, was not afraid of her voice, and used it to her advantage, as she did her thing, and made the crowd smile.
A more mature band to what I am used to Glasschild have something that most bands don’t, that something that makes you want to go out and see them again, buy a copy of the cd so you can play it again and again when you get home……..
These guys are definitely worth seeing live, I can guarantee they Will make you smile.
I hope that they get where they want to be!!!

For it was obvious that as soon as Glasschild took to the stage they could perform and play
up their with the very best. I wasn't to know it then but by the end of the tour I would realise that they were the best band I have had the pleasure of touring with. This is not a statement I make lightly either, for I have toured, supported and played with acts as diverse as Johnny Cash, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Spiritulised, Rage Against The Machine, Annie Lennox, Des Ree, Randy Crawford as well as many of the Indie (for Indie read Indistinguishable) bands who have been on the same bills as me at various festivals.
Do you know that not one night did I leave the venue early to go to my hotel and get some horizontal refreshment, (and believe me there were many nights that I should have), because the band were captivating.
The songs grew on me with every hearing and the band morphed into a chimera of sound, movement and (stage) presence.
