Check out Brian Arsenault Takes On GLADSHOT's CD "Maxwells Cool Demon" in International Review of Music -
"It’s hard to believe there was a time when the artists managed to grab control of music and records and we wouldn’t have to suffer through industry created pop anymore. That was another ’60s-’70s dream of course. The empire struck back early and often. Still the rise of digital created a world in which recordings can be made without the big labels. And sometimes still we get a GLADSHOT"
Show coming up at The Space in New Haven CT on March 7, co-headlining with The Zambonis. Other great bands on the line up are The Oddbodies and No Line North... they're spinning our record Maxwell's Cool Demon on the Surf Party Apocalypse show (+ others) on WPKN in Bridgeport. Check back soon for more dates!
Playing with some great bands this summer tour.. Raccoon Fighter at the East River Bandshell, MTV Ghosts from Chicago, Gelatinus Cube from Columbus OH; and for the Delancey residency, Matt Keating and I Am Oak (from the Netherlands).
Reviews.. Heez De Paula at Mostly Junk Food - "I commend Gladshot for putting out an EP as raw as this one. This shit is tight. I absolutely love the rises and drops of tension throughout, but what grabs me the most is their ability to maintain a sense of power and energy in the more quiet parts."; Hans Werksmann at Here Comes the Flood - "the EP is laidback and packing a punch simultaneously. With a nod to the Stones in Steady Light Gladshot have written their best rock song to date"; and Tom Haugen at New Noise Magazine , "A powerful version of today’s garage rock coming from New York, these tunes go by all too quick" (besides being a rock n roll critic Haugen also rides BMX)
UPDATE: After the Sept 24 show with Mike Bell RadioStatic Philly added Gladshot to their "Dept of Amazing Out of Town Bands".
