Big thanks to Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life (GBHBL) for giving BELK - UMPIRE a whopping 8/10 and a brilliant review to accompany.
"We love a bit of noise rock here at GBHBL, so BELK are on to a winner right off the bat. Then you hear it and you wonder where this band has been all your life? BELK deliver four deeply challenging slabs of bad-mannered noise on this EP and it is so exciting to hear."
in violet's Jake Murray recently spoke with Caleb R. Newton from Captured Howls about their comeback with their recent single 'Cathedral Thinking', creative sparks during the pandemic and the future direction for the band. Thanks for the interview Caleb!

After announcing our the most recent addition to the Glasshouse roster a few months back, it's finally come around to announce that the re-issue pre-orders of BELK - 'UMPIRE' is now live on our Bandcamp.
"UMPIRE is a hefty 4-track EP clocking in at just over 11 minutes, vicious, upfront and straight to the point, re-issued for the first time on limited edition two colour cassette tapes accompanied by a limited run of t-shirts designed by guitarist Alex F Pearson. This EP super heavy, abrasive and savage racket which needs to be listened to at maximum volume and is guaranteed to jump right out the speakers."
Pre-orders will run until official release date on Friday 4th June.
A lovely surprise earlier today to see that Matt Daniels from Echoes and Dust has written this lovely review on Burden Limbs - In The Flesh.
"In the Flesh is an audacious move from a band who have yet to release a full-length album and who are still establishing themselves in this genre… a move that actually pays off in spades as this duo of audial and visual treats packs a punch and showcases a band at the top of their creative game."
Will from Wolves In The Drone Doom reviewed Burden Limbs - In The Flesh on their 'New Spins' review today. A wonderful review and thank you WITDD for your continued support!
"Definitely one of the best live sessions I've heard during this period, and if the lo-fi nature of some of Burden Limbs recorded material doesn't quite grab you, then give In The Flesh a spin and hopefully you'll be hooked."
in violet's Jake Murray spoke with The Thief Magazine about "the looming crisis and the approach to creating the band's unique sound in their new single "Cathedral Thinking".
Thanks for the interview Oliver!

Thank you Sergio from Portraying Voices for this top review of in violet - Cathedral Thinking!
"Contemplating a Berlin techno maniacally decorated by a vocal psychedelia, which sees its libertarian spirit spiced up when that industriality enters the scene..."

Rory and Chad, aka Glasshouse HQ recently joined good friend Adriana Ciccone over at Echoes and Dust for an in-depth interview about how the label started and where we're heading.
"It kind of made sense to me there and then that starting my own label was the next progression. I had a good idea how a label is run, I didn’t have to pitch or prove to anyone they’d be worthy, I can choose who I want to release and it was like a “Fuck it, if I can’t be in a band, I’ll release the bands I like” mentality. That’s when Glasshouse was born."
