The Glands - Double Thriller (2018)

New West Records is humbled and proud to release recordings from Athens, GA luminaries The Glands. The band's debut album, Double Thriller has been meticulously remastered from original source materials and will now be released for the first time ever on vinyl. Take a listen and hear why NPR says, 'Do whatever you can to hear these records 'they're ripe for re-discovery.'

With the Athens, Georgia music scene receiving national press from the likes of R.E.M. and the B-52's, members of the Glands knew that they wanted to create something their hometown was known for. So instead of having a sound that resembled laid-back college rock or wacked-out party rock, members Ross Shapiro (vocals/ guitar) Joe Rowe (drums), Craig McQuiston (bass), Frank McDonald (guitar) and Doug Stanley (keyboards) shaped more of a darker, laid-back, brit-pop style that doesn't cross the line of dismal or brooding. Bar/None Records eventually took a shine to the Glands and released their 1997 debut entitled Double Thriller. Capricorn released their self-titled second album, which arrived in 2000. ~ Mike DaRonco
