Glorious Din was one of the intriguing and enigmatic bands to emerge from the vibrant post-punk underground scene in San Francisco during the mid-1980s. The band, which was short-lived yet left a lasting impression, was known for its dark, brooding sound landscapes that drew inspiration from the era's burgeoning post-punk and death rock movements. Their most seminal work, "Leading Stolen Horses," released in 1985, is often credited with cementing their reputation as pioneers in the genre, characterized by haunting vocals, angular guitar work, and an air of melancholic introspection.

Despite their relatively brief tenure, Glorious Din’s influence resonated through the alternative music circles of the time, earning them a cult following that persists to this day among aficionados of the genre. Their recorded legacy includes the hypnotic rhythms of "Closely Watched Trains" and the melodically dissonant "Was It Mouth Poison, Suicide or Murder," showcasing the band's ability to fuse raw emotion with a unique sonic palette. The band's small but compelling discography continues to be rediscovered by new generations of listeners, who find in Glorious Din's music a timeless exploration of mood and melody.
