Glassjaw.


Straight outta Long Island like a crime spree, touring here and there and everywhere. This is the new steez, hardcore packaged for the masses...

The title of your new album, Worship and Tribute, is a dedication to all the bands that influenced you...

Daryl: There are too many to name. Liberache, Ray Charles For the composer and conductor of the Ray Charles Singers, see .

Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) known by his stage name Ray Charles, was a pioneering American pianist and soul musician who shaped the sound of rhythm and blues.
...Liberache, definitely. It's not so important as to who they are, but it's more of a statement to acknowledge what you are. Ever since bands like the Beatles and Zeppelin, nobody's really gonna invent anything that hasn't already been done. So you pretty much have to take what furls you in the first place. That's what we do musically--especially what we do lyrically. I'm not afraid to admit it, but I cite a lot of lines and quotes in my lyrics of the other artists that make me wanna play This article contains information about a scheduled or expected .

. It's like doing art and living life, like, "You know what? Fuck everything. You do music just for the purpose of doing music." It's just to make music for ourselves.

 are his inspiration.

D: Aside from the monkeys and hummus my inspiration is whatever happens to me in life. That's what everybody says and that's a cliche answer, but that's the bottom line. If I'm moved enough to constantly think about something, then I'm gonna pen it and spit it out. Music is the most powerful thing in the tucking world; music is totally the universal language. It moves me enough to fucking vomit and cry out of happiness. Usually it's more of the downside of my mood swings than the upside.

Long Island seems to be a hotbed hotbed, low, glass-covered frame structure for starting tender plants. It differs from a cold frame only in that the soil is heated—either artificially as by underground electric wiring or steampipes, or naturally with partially fermented stable manure, which  for hardcore bands.

B: Every band that comes from Long Island sucks... It was a breeding ground for the early stages of Glassjaw. It's a melting pot of music, between Suffix County and NYC NYC

D: It's this pop bullshit where everyone just looks cute.
