Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
While the name may be new, the electropop quartet of vocalist Jayna Doyle, Keyboardist Blake Arambula, guitarist Patrick Beardsley and drummer Rodney Liles have been steadily winning over audiences across the country for the past 5 years. With 10+ tours under their belt, multiple appearances at festivals like SXSW, Warped Tour and Florida Music Festival, as well as a recently recorded Daytrotter session, the band has just debuted the music video for “Matches,” the first single from their upcoming release due out later this year.
With the kinetic “Matches,” Glass Mansions returned to the studio with Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (Mayday Parade, All Time Low, Cartel) who helmed the band’s 2013’s GOSSIP EP, and have combined the band’s signature pop flourishes with the darker, guitar-driven feel of the song — all while harnessing the energy the band’s live shows have come to be known for.
Of “Matches,” Texas Blog The Music Enthusiast says it’s “An invigorating one to listen to ó and one would assume itís a highlight at shows ó this number feels like the beginning of a brand new band, one thatís extremely cohesive and hungry to try to make a splash on the national stage.”
That hunger is part of the DIY-spirit the band embraces, serving as their own management, booking agents, music video directors, late night PR Agents, and the most excited merch people you’ll see. In a world where record labels are taking less and less chances on acts, Glass Mansions is proving their worth, one sweaty fog and confetti-filled show at a time.
The bands 11th tour will begin in August, taking them to Texas and back and ending with a showcase at New Music Confab for industry professionals.
