ABOUT

Starting initially as just home recordings and demos made in the so-called "Cupboard Studio", The Screaming Glasses started to release music in the summer on 2022, with the single "No Return, Pt. 2". The first album, "Crimson Sand Ignites", was made using only microtonal guitars inspired by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's Flying Microtonal Banana and the sound of early Hawkwind.

Only a month after the album release the next single "Nothing Will Help"  was released, then only a month later "Everything Would Be Okay"; both for the new upcoming album "The Corridor". Originally intended to be released in October 2022, the release was pushed back to February 2023 due to licensing issues for the "Withnail and I" sample heard in the track "Hide Discontent". The day before announcing the album's release a short video was released titled "(outro)", which featured an alternative instrumental version of "Everything Would Be Okay". On the 24th February 2023 the second album "The Corridor" was released which was heavily influenced by bands such as Radiohead, Slowdive and The Chameleons.

A third album was announced to be in the process of recording around May 2023, before the first single, "For You (I'll Wait)" was released at the end of August, with the B-side version being played on BBC Introducing Solent. Around a month later the third album "Candlelit Mealdeal" was announced with the release of a second single, "A Creak Of The Floorboards" on the 24th October. Originally intended to be an entirely acoustic album, "Candlelit Mealdeal" is still mainly that, with the occasional electric instrument in each song. It is also the first album to feature the sitar and the trumpet, 2 instruments bought and learnt solely for the songs that feature them on the album. A further 2 songs were played on BBC Introducing from the album, the opener "Fear An Silent Screaming" and the more progressive rock influenced "For Our Coins". Around this time, a live band for The Screaming Glasses was formed, and played their first gig at The Hobbit Southampton on the 24th November.

In January 2024, work began on the next album. Though a couple of the songs had already been recorded, it was time to record the drum parts and start properly working of finishing the album, which was released on the 25th of June 2024.
