Kids in Glass Houses Tickets

Short Biography

Kids in Glass Houses are delighted to announce the upcoming release of their fourth album, Peace through Transmission Recordings on 30 September 2013. Where 2011’s In Gold Blood was a critically acclaimed head-trip through a fantasy world, the new album is a boundlessly entertaining collection of songs that proves beyond all doubt, that Aled Philips, Iain Mahanty, guitarist Joel Fisher, bassist Andrew Sheehy and drummer Philip Jenkins, can write one hell of a tune. “The approach to this record was to do something in the vein of what we used to do, where we focused on writing singles, as on ‘Smart Casual’ and ‘Dirt’,” says Aled. “Then again, it’s as experimental as the last album, but instead of making one big, sprawling album we tried to make each song as catchy and memorable as possible.”
 
With this change in direction musically comes a brand new website and a brand new attitude. After seven years, three albums, thirteen singles, countless headline tours, thousands of satisfied punters and a series of colossal festival appearances, Kids In Glass Houses have finally come home.  “This album we decided to team up with the wonderful guys at PledgeMusic. So when you pre-order the album through them, not only will you get great songs you’ll get exclusive content, video updates, and photos as well as being able to buy items we used in the studio. That includes, the whiteboard we used, as well as Aled’s lyric book. Just a load of cool things we’ve never been able to deliver to fans before”.

In-depth Biography
Sporting a collective love of Glassjaw and calling Cardiff, South Wales home, alternative pop/rockers Kids in Glass Houses got together in 2003. The band -- comprised of vocalist Aled Philips, guitarists Joel Fisher and Iain Mahanty, bassist Shay, and drummer Phil Jenkins -- almost immediately started garnering attention in its hometown scene. The hype soon spread to bigger media outlets like Kerrang! and BBC Radio 1; Kids in Glass Houses were showered with praise and accolades declaring them the next big thing in the U.K. rock scene, and all before they were even signed to a label. Shows in 2006 had the guys sharing stages with a diversity of U.K. and American groups like Dopamine, the Blackout, Lostprophets, Killswitch Engage, and Cute Is What We Aim For, in addition to snagging spots at various festivals. The band's debut single, "Me Me Me," came out in early summer 2007, a song that was also featured on their EP E-Pocalypse. ~ Corey Apar, Rovi
