Born on May 5th 1973 on the tiny island of Gibraltar, Glen Diani always wanted to be in a band since childhood. Leaving school at 15, his dreams to move to London and become a guitarist, finally became reality when he learnt to play bass and united with the other three to make One Minute Silence.
Energetically leaping around the stage like a madman, Glen is one of the highlights of the stage full stop. Other highlights of Glen include his constantly varying hairwear. Long brown dreads, short bleached dreads, and the finally up-to-date devil-horns, make up the recent(ish) barnetology of Glen Diani. Growing up admiring the likes of AC/DC and Black Sabbath, Glen brought class, panache, and taste to the microscopic 4-and-a-half mile square island that is Gibraltar, found near the south coast of Spain.
in a statement released in October 2003, the band announced its split:
Although we are still the best of friends, and cannot rule out the possibility of working together in the future, for now we are dispersing to pursue other projects and interests. We're still in love, we're just not married any more!! There are no musical differences, and no personal conflicts affecting our friendship with each other, just a desire to branch out and explore other areas of life and music.
The band would like to extend their infinite love and respect to those who have championed OMS over the years, whether from within the industry and the media or from without. Your support has been life-giving. An extra-special acknowledgement is due to the people who have come to our shows, and especially to the people in the pit, because without you there would have been no OMS, and without people to listen, music would be meaningless. You rule, we love you, and we miss you already!!
Looking to the future; Yap is going full-throttle into spoken word performances, and he is also working on a number of political and philosophical media projects.
Glen Diani and Massy Fiocco are currently considering and inviting other options. Eddie Stratton is currently filling in on drums with his friends in New Disease.
According to a post made on the 25th of May, 2010 on the band's Myspace page, Yap, Glen and Massy are recording new material with new drummer Martin Davies. New pictures have also appeared on the bands Myspace of the band rehearsing
well done, mate!
