Glazed
Booking

Jacksonville’s GLAZED is a gateway band that invites new listeners into the subculture, and that sort of self-reflection is admirable. Just about everything the act does on their recent album 1999 feels like it’s between two worlds. The meaty guitars crash down heavily before twisting back up into the stratosphere a la early ‘10s band Title Fight, while vocalist Justin Belichis’ temperament and sneering harkens back to an earlier era of pop-punk. The band itself has spanned two separate time periods, forming in 2013 and disappearing for several years after 2016’s You’ve Changed. Though they’re a bit of an anachronism, tracks like “Skakey Archery” and “Anthropology of an Apology” suggest that there’s a very good reason people keep reaching for those dusty CDs: the music’s just great. Since then, the band reemerged back into the underground post-pandemic and began touring throughout the US’ DIY scenes and supported Dikembe in 2023.
