Glassjaw debut another new one

Glassjaw opened up their one-off show at Emo's, Austin TX with a brand new song with the tentative title of "Wolfegg", according to bassist Manny Carrero:

Quote:
O.K.

Real quick.

Wolfgang is not the name of the song. The working title was "Wolfegg". The afternoon of the Emo's show, we were going over all of the songs we had been playing live 'since we started playing as a four piece. (We ended up playing all of them, with the exception of 2 songs.) On a whim, we decided to try "Wolfegg". We had never played it live, nor had we ever played it together as a band before, with vocals.

Justin wrote up one set list, and our friend Gabe took over after that. Instead of telling him the names of the songs he didn't know, he had to guess what they were based on Justin's handwriting. Hence "Wolfgang", "Lemon" instead of Lennon, etc, etc. I mean, it also says "Camueotubo" instead of Convectuoso. =P

I watched videos on youtube of the song, and I hope people hold off judgement until the recorded version surfaces, or a better version is filmed from future shows. Immediately, I noticed all of Durijah's high hats and ghost notes on the snare are not audible. That beat kills when you can hear everything that's going on. I also forgot the bass break in the song because I got nervous and forgot where it was. (Again, first time playing it as a band.)

Thank you all for still caring about things like new songs. I've been in bands where people who were listeners of the band didn't really care for new songs. It's nice to know that there are some who are as excited as we are.

MASSIVELY awesome setlist on this. The new song reminds me a bit of "Mu Empire", sounds pretty cool so far

The fact that they're playing so much new stuff lately is a pretty good sign in relation to Glassjaw. I'm actually pretty confident we'll get new music this year. Besides, legal troubles are the culprit with their inability to release anything. I'm pretty sure they signed a three-record deal with Warner, have lineup troubles all the time, literally went off-radar for two-three years with no creative output for the label, and decided to book and play their own tours with no label support, which basically means they are/were in a prime position for some Major Label Ass Rape

Instead of growing to be absolutely incapable of waiting for this, I care less about them potentially releasing a new album every day that they don't now. It's just been so long I hardly even listen to GJ anymore whereas about a year ago and any time before that I was listening just about every day.

I was lucky enough to go to this with some friends and honestly I couldn't be more happy with the set. One of the top three shows I've been to.

Well I figured it was sarcasm, I just had to ask because that's fucking retarded. Bands grow on and off people, I didn't even say I didn't like Glassjaw anymore, just that I'm gradually liking them less. But no, my comment meant I think bands that stop releasing things become irrelevant.

Reality check: http://www.last.fm/user/TMobotron
Last 7 Days my top two are:
1 Deltron 3030 67
2 Godspeed You! Black Emperor 40

Consider the average time of a GY!BE track. But oh wait:
favorite bands
Glassjaw

You're just a fanboy anyways.

woh.. dude the way you worded it just made it sound like that is all

And i too have liked glassjaw less over the years, EYEWTKAS which was what got me hooked on them rarely gets spins nowadays.

And considering their limited discography I agree somewhat

But when that record comes out i will be pumped, just one of those bands that i think of when i think of music

PS. what does fanboy even mean really?

^Lol okay my bad, glad to see you aren't a douche bag. I just was pissed because I actually do really like GJ and I hate when my words get twisted into something I didn't say (although I did make it sound a lot more negative than I meant to, so I don't really blame you in retrospect).

But yeah Ill definitely pick up the album when it drops. I guess I've just sort of gone from being excited about its release to just being annoyed with the fact that it hasn't been.

Fanboy would mean just a fan of the band really, with the connotation of being way more into them than what is considered normal. I was using it to say you were attacking me because I said something about the band you were a "fanboy" of.

I changed the title, added the new song, mixed and enhanced by my good friend Dan. Sounds much better. He also did mixes on the best quality rips of the newer songs (the Jesus Glue mix is ridiculously good for non-soundboard), the links are in this thread.
