In the beginning of December I got introduced to this four-piece band from Kent who seem to be taking the alt-pop world by storm, so it wouldn\u2019t be right if I didn\u2019t tell you all about their new single that came out yesterday!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Glass Peaks boys Lewis (vocals, guitar, synths), Jake (guitar), Grant (drums) and Alfie (bass)\u00a0haven\u2019t been a band that long yet, even when I saw them last month the concert was practically sold out and everyone in there except for me seemed to know all the lyrics to all the songs. So I believe it\u2019s safe to say that they are making a name for themselves.<\/p>\n

If you ask them who their influences have been when creating their music they\u2019ll mention people like\u00a0Joy Division and The Smiths, Ben Howard, Foals, The Maccabees and White Lies. But even thought they have high influence from these great artists they are working hard on making their own sound stick out putting their niche touch on an already popular sound.<\/p>\n

Their new single is called ‘Speak and Spell’\u00a0<\/em>and was produced by\u00a0Kristofer Harris who has worked with artists like\u00a0Bear\u2019s Den, Clock Opera, Smoke Fairies. I won\u2019t go in to much detail about the song since I strongly believe that music should be heard, not described by words.<\/p>\n

But I will now stop stalling you and taking up your time and let you enjoy the incredible new single by Glass Peaks, ‘Speak and Spell’.<\/p>\n

If you like what you\u2019ve just heard\u00a0Glass Peaks is supporting Independent Venue Week and playing at\u00a0The Rocksteady (Dalston)<\/a>\u00a0TONIGHT! Come by and say hello, I myself will definitely be there enjoying some good company and great music.<\/p>\n
