    .. ..

    “THAT LINE” ....

    .. ..

    Available on itunes and www.downloadmusic.ie from August 3rd....

    .. ..

    This is the first single from the third Glyder album “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow”. The album is due for release late 2009. Glyder open for Metallica .... in ....Marlay.. ..Park.... on August 1st.

    Formerly know as ....Hollywood...., Wicklow band Glyder began its musical journey in 2004 at the “Vibe for Philo” in ....Vicar St.. ..Dublin..... Three albums later and constant touring have shaped Glyder into one the finest rock outfits on the European rock scene.


    Over the past four years Glyder have toured ..Europe.. extensively with the likes of Thin Lizzy, Wishbone Ash, Dio, WASP, Thunder, Fish, Y&T, Michael Schenker, Hawkwind, Gotthard, Blue Oyster Cult, The Answer. They started on the European festival circuit in 2007 and played at Gods of Metal in Italy with Motley Cue and Velvet Revolver, Sweden Rock festival in 2008 with Def Leppard and Whitesnake , Raismes festival in France 2008 and Hard Rock Hell 2 in Wales 2008 with Thin Lizzy.

    Glyder played their first headline tour in ....Spain.... in 2008 and headlined to 10,000 rock fans in ....India.... in October 2008 proving that they can win over any audience in any live situation.

    The debut album produced by Chris Tsangarides (Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore) got Glyder the attention of the press and a record deal with Bad Reputation records in ....France..... Since then the album has been released in ....Japan.... where it peaked at no.8 in the rock and metal charts there. The following album "Playground for life" was critically acclaimed all over ..Europe.. and forged the bands reputation as serious songwriters. In 2008 Glyder released an EP "Weather the Storm" which again received critical acclaim.


    “With a solid twin guitar attack ripping out the harmonies with aplomb and more swagger than Clint Eastwood….the same stadium gallop and romantic nuances that Lizzy exuded with glorious result”. – Classic Rock Magazine


    ....

    "An eight-legged gift from classic rock heaven, Glyder emerged fully-formed with their superb debut album a couple of years ago…., the follow-up is an album of great songs, great performances and, most importantly, great spirit.- Metal Hammer


    ....

    “Smothered with sublime harmonies and delivered with grit and precision” KKKK Kerrang


    ....

    "There’s a reason they call it classic rock and the riffs of opener "Gamblers Blues" and the eerie atmospherics of the title track are just two examples of how songwriting will always outlive trends" -Rock Sound Magazine


    ....

    “The quality of the songwriting really does separate Glyder from the vast majority of up and coming acts that would be viewed as their peers, which augers extremely well for their future”HARDROCKHOUSE.COM....
