Stephen Oliver discovers an album bursting with energy from the South Coast trio
Hassle Records
Released: 27.08.21
The second full length album from South Coast three-piece GLOO features bundles of energy as they sing about normal life stuff like work and partying with attitude. This is a fun band with a punk/rock feel similar to the Wildheart’s splinter group The Yo-Yos.
The trio have created an intense sounding set of likeable songs. Lyrically, there is a push against the drudgery of the ‘work, sleep and repeat’ existence. The sing along lyrics fly over the crashing guitars in a reminder of how Green Day sounded before they went corporate. The loose swagger in each song hides a tight musical unit. Gloo’s latest release is the antithesis to the huge mountain of self-help books that exist about self-improvement.
