Glorium


Glorium was a prolific art punk band that was formed in San Antonio, Texas, in 1991. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1992, the band released several 7-inch records and albums, many on local Austin independent record labels. The band's music is a blend of post-punk, emo, art rock, classic rock, garage rock, progressive rock and noise rock with a strong DIY ethic.
Glorium toured the United States throughout the 1990s, sharing the stage with diverse acts as Fugazi, At the Drive-In, Lungfish, Slant 6, Jawbreaker, Hoover, Six-Finger Satellite, Spoon, Ruins, Brainiac, Shudder To Think, Seaweed, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, The Grifters, Man or Astroman?, Ed Hall, Trenchmouth and The Meices, playing basements, house shows and clubs while booking their own shows, culminating in opening for Fugazi on their Southeastern tour in 1996 along with Branch Manager. Tim Kerr produced the band's third single and first full-length album, Cinema Peligrosa, in 1994.
Glorium stopped in 1997 but still reconvenes to play the occasional show, playing a benefit for the DJ Jonathan Toubin in December 2011 during the last week of Emo's downtown.
