yeah yeahhhh ! ;)

[OdysseyIntoOblivion]

Same here. Their first album came out the year I was fuckin born! I just bought it yesterday. It took me a long time to find bands like this. I also reccomend (if you have't heard) Transatlantic, Marillion, Spock's Beard and The Flower Kings.

Damn, how have I not heard this band?

[brianjlevine]

Sounds like a cross between Kansas and Starcastle.

@OdysseyIntoOblivion

thanks for the tips - much prefer the snare drum sound Transatlantic has, in contrast to Glass Hammer's

[nomusician]

It's great - only I can't help thinking someone should tell the drummer Randall Williams

to change his snare sound; it's obtrusive and always the same. 'if I could only find the words to say...' yup, there goes that snare drum again - constant and pointless.

[528MetalHead]

Never heard these guys before.I can see why YES chose him to replace Benoit David.Another great band to check out is Pendragon.

The first acoustic guitar screams Dave Matthews.

[rotvalo]

and now Jon Davison is touring with Yes.... Hopefully Glass Hammer gets him back!

@s0undch4s3r  ...or Trevor Rabin.

[faready]

I recommend PHIDEAUX to all GLASS HAMMER lovers... they are both GREAT!!!

[s0undch4s3r]

Love that progression and guitar part at 2:58 .... Sounds like something Allan Holdsworth would come up with..twisted and tasty...love it.
