Well thats just your bad luck you caught them at a bad time. I saw them a couple of years ago when they played with Adema, Earshot and Alien Ant Farm. It was one of the most fun shows I've ever been to, and Glassjaw were amazing. I went to the show to see Adema and AAF, but Glassjaw blew them both off the stage. They were thrilling.

Yeah they weren't all that. It was kinda weird really cos I travelled all the way to Cali to see Adema and AAF and neither of them were that great. Glassjaw were awesome and Earshot were good as well, and I'd barely heard anything by either of them when I first went. Do you know if Earshot's albums are any good? Cos I was thinking of picking up some of their stuff.
I don't usually like emo, but I love Glassjaw and Boysetsfire are pretty good too (although After The Eulogy is way better than Tomorrow Come Today, and Release The Dogs was overplayed).
Emo is a really diverse genre, but there are way more shitty emo bands than there are good ones. Which is a shame cos emo music can be amazing if its done well.
I had to bring this thread back to post some lyrics from GJ's first album. I love these three in particular:
I use my slit wrist
To sign my name with blood,
And when you can't compete with the Jones's
Gun 'em all down
(Even the father).
So put another penny in and turn the crank until the frames cease to move...
And the movie turns into a photo...
A photo the size of a kiss,
I hope she knows.
I'll hold my child's head underwater.
If it's a boy, I was joking
If it's a daughter, I'll say I did what I did
because I had to...
so great ✅
