The mighty Glassjaw will return in January 2018. 



The news of the legendary Glassjaw returning to Australia next year isn't that big of a surprise. Not when promoters MJR Presents announced they'd be back sometime soon with an eager Facebook post asking for all curious to sign up to their newsletter. (Which I did, as I fucking love this band). Even still, I am absolutely giddy at the thought of these guys returning to our shores. I mean, first it was Thursday last week and now we have Glassjaw this week? All we need is a From Autumn To Ashes reunion tour and I'll be in heaven!

Glassjaw will be in the country for a very short stab of shows - 15th January to 22nd January - in Melbourne at The Forum, Sydney at The Metro, Brisbane at The Tivoli and Perth at Capitol. Tickets go on pre-sale at 9am local time Wednesday, October 18th for Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth. General public sales begin at 10am local time Friday, October 20th. Get in quick for these, folks. 

The storied band's two LP's - the raw 'Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence' (2000) and the truly seminal 'Worship and Tribute' (2002), as well as their two EP's, the solid 'Our Color Green (The Singles)' (2011) and the fantastic 'Coloring Book' (2011), are all key, instrumental releases for the post-hardcore and alternative music scenes. ('Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' and the 'El Mark' EP's are cool and all, but they're hardly up to scratch with their older siblings). 

This 2018 tour, which sees the band playing in some massive rooms, will be the first time that the band has been to Australia since their 2014 tour for Soundwave and their "sidewave" shows with The Dillinger Escape Plan and Dir En Grey. And because this is Glassjaw and all, who knows when they'll be back here next.

So stream one of the best records ever made below and get keen!
