Glassjaw is a band that has notably etched its name into the post-hardcore scene with a unique blend of aggressive musical landscapes and poignant lyrical content. Hailing from Long Island, New York, the group was formed in 1993 by vocalist Daryl Palumbo and guitarist Justin Beck. Known for their raw passion and intense live performances, Glassjaw's music is a dynamic fusion of hardcore punk energy with experimental rock elements.

The band's debut album, "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence," released in 2000, immediately set them apart from their contemporaries with its visceral honesty and sonic complexity. This seminal work was later remastered, breathing new life into the anguished anthems that had already resonated deeply with a swelling fanbase. Following up with the critically acclaimed "Worship and Tribute" in 2002, Glassjaw continued to forge a sound that was both intricate and emotionally charged. Despite periods of activity and hiatus, marked by lineup changes and health issues, the band's influence remained. They resurfaced with a series of releases over the years, such as "Our Color Green (The Singles)" and the "Coloring Book" EP, maintaining their relevance and cult status. In 2017, a long-awaited comeback materialized with the full-length album "Material Control," reaffirming Glassjaw's enduring legacy within the alternative music sphere.
