The Glass Cavalry

Tight lyrics. Eclectic, mellifluous textures. Lead riffs. Piano-driven grooves flowing to headbanging, palm-muted rhythm guitars you can dance to. The playfulness of Ludo, the fretboard ferocity of classic rock, with emphasis on melodic tension-and-release catharsis. Imagine a Third Eye Blind cake with Jimmy Page frosting, keyboard sprinkles, and vocally dual-gender candles. Grant Barnum lets his guitar scream on stage, and his soul pour out his voice. Katie Lindhorst brings out the heart of underground music with her vocals and keyboards, and with Shannon Durington on bass, and Lyndsey Rawley on drums, our rhythm section keeps the music solid and soulful. As a band we're ready to fit bills for indie, alternative, or hard rock audiences on any stage. These four Missouri soldiers have been under the moniker "The Glass Cavalry" for the past year, but the music you'll hear has been alive for much longer than that. Barnum started writing the skeleton of TGC years ago, scratching lyrics in notebooks, or chanting riffs in his head. He made sure to allow for my growth as a person, as a musician, and for the growth of the songs themselves. Muscle tissue came in the form of chorus ideas, skin in the form of verse couplets. Before these songs had a band to perform them, they were Grant's friends, incubating in the closet for no one but him. Now they're alive and well. TGC released a 3 song ep in the fall of 2011, with a full-length album already in the works. "Burn and Void" will be available this year, containing 12 tracks. The musicians poised to embody them are as committed as they are talented, and The Glass Cavalry can't wait to share them with you. To quote one of our tracks, "...the fight is on, but we're nowhere near the end." 'Five' now available on iTunes! https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/five-single/id788988491
