The collection of songs on the debut EP “Where Neon Meets The Rain” from Looking Glass War , is a fine example of all that is good in music .

“Where Neon Meets The Rain “ is an EP that is filled to the brim with well crafted thought provoking songs that grab your attention from note one .

The opening track “Arrive!” Is the absolutely perfect opening track , as it properly introduces the listener to the musical goodness that is Looking Glass War . Lead singer Goddamn Glenn delivers a show stopping vocal performance that literally will take your breath away .

The second track “I Can Tell By The Cars “ is so magnetic , we can’t pull away from it. Looking Glass War is firing on all cylinders on this track . The well written lyrics take center stage on “I Can Tell By The Cars”

You can watch the lyric video for “I Can Tell By The Cars” below

A Tsar Is Torn “ is the kind of the song that makes you really stop and listen. We had this one on heavy repeat .

The final track “A Gun On A Wall In A Scene “ has a great 90’s Britpop vibe , that we absolutely love .

When asked about the EP, guitarist Pete Zeigler commented “The song-to-song flow is the real first statement from this band, as this EP shows different sides of the whole Looking Glass War sound. We’re taking classic post-punk and indie sounds and moving them beyond the derivative and into new territory. Familiar underpinnings but with new twists.”

Where Neon Meets the Rain – its title taken from a lyric in “Arrive!” – was produced by Brian Charles, with assistant engineer Adam Hand; recorded in Massachusetts at Mad Oak Studios in Allston and Rare Signals in Cambridge, MA; and mastered by Peter Linnane.

Vocalist Goddamn Glenn, guitarist Pete Zeigler, Mancunian ex-pat bassist Mike Ackley, and drummer Tony Porter have created a musical work of art that could possibly be one of the best EP’s we’ve heard this year . An EP like “Where Neon Meets The Rain “ is what happens when extraordinary musicians get together and create music with their whole heart and soul- Bravo
