2017 once again served as a telling point in music where you had to stretch to certain realms (Americana, folk and funk) to really dig out the best. Once again Glide staff writers narrowed down the list to our top 20 albums of the year along with a list of 20 very strong honorable mentions.  We’re […]

When it’s the last night of a year-long celebratory tour, the guys like to have a little bit of extra fun. So when Foreigner singer Kelly Hansen yells out, “I don’t have to save my voice for the next show!” during the second song in their set in Biloxi, Mississippi, last week, you knew it […]

Ron Gallo is a true showman. Since his creative rebirth earlier this year with the release of his record Heavy Meta, he has continued to lean into his wild man, rock and roll tendencies, putting on insane live shows worthy of the finest head-banging. On an earlier leg of his Heavy Meta tour back in […]

Arguably the unsung hero of American rock and roll, Tommy Keene died at age 59 on November, 21st. Over the course of 12 albums, Keene hardly used anything more than guitars (acoustic and electric) bass, drums, voices and an occasional touch of keyboards on his own songs, he gained a cult following with his series […]

Since the release of his excellent 2013 record Dear Mark J. Mulcahy, I Love You, Mark Mulcahy has been on a roll, creating some of the best music of his career. With this year’s The Possum in the Driveway, he continues to stretch and evolve as an artist and performer. At a recent show at […]

Saturnalia is an ancient Roman festival in honor of Saturn and celebration of the coming winter. Austin, Texas venues Sahara Lounge & The Electric Church have joined forces at the closing of a year full of political and social upheaval to bring love & light. Traditionally Saturnalia was celebrated with public banquets, private gift giving, […]

Kamasi Washington’s two-hour performance at Higher Ground on November 17th wasn’t exactly a carbon copy of his much anticipated, but ultimately disappointing June appearance during the Burlington Discover Jazz Fest, but it was close. It was, in fact, marginally better, if only because bandleader and saxophonist, whose reputation is reaching critical mass these days, talked […]

Denzel Washington delivers another standout performance in this uneven drama.

Dickens is reimagined in this new holiday classic.

The Nightcrawler director talks Denzel Washington and his latest film.

Mayhem’s long and storied history requires no introduction for anyone even vaguely familiar with the black metal scene of Norway in the ‘80s and ‘90s. “Infamous” is a word that could easily be applied to the band, which has hosted membership like Varg Vikernes, notorious murderer (of the band’s guitarist, Euronymous, no less) and white […]

In the newest installment of Wannabe, artist Chris Prunckle reviews Turn Out The Lights, the new album from Memphis singer-songwriter Julien Baker, in his signature six-panel comic strip form. Click on the image for full resolution (best viewed on desktop):

Every year at the end of November, Bob Dylan pushes pause on the Never Ending Tour to rest his bones for winter before returning to the stage in early April. Most years Dylan tries to end things in his adopted hometown of NYC around Thanksgiving (perhaps he secretly dresses as a clown to wrangle a […]

Mudhoney’s LiE will be available on vinyl LP and through digital service providers (N/A on CD, etc.) worldwide on January 19th, 2018. And, in lieu of a Sub Pop Loser Edition of LiE, a 500-piece, limited-edition of the LP, on heavy, milky clear vinyl with a bonus 7” single included (“Touch Me I’m Sick” b/w “Where the Flavor Is”), […]

One of the most revered and respected pop groups of the 1980s, Eurythmics, with over 20 international hits and 80 million albums sold, is in the spotlight once again, both for their nomination for the 2018 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the impending re-release of their eight studio albums on […]

It was a sight to behold. Kamasi Washington packed Boston’s Royale nightclub on November 20th with college-aged kids chomping at the bit to hear jazz music, and on a Monday night no less. We’re not talking about jazz-fusion, or Medeski, Martin and Wood-style jammy jazz. Kamasi Washington dished up ninety minutes of straight jazz that […]

“Racism sucks, homophobia sucks, and our president is a giant piece of shit”. These were the words confidently spoken by the lead singer of Highly Suspect, Johnny Stevens. As he finished the sentence, the crowd roared in approval. Chicago’s House of Blues was sold out for the second night in a row on November 18th, […]
