Glasvegas release doing well in charts

26/04/2011

Fans of Glasvegas proud of the success of the band's latest album can wear their band t-shirt with pride on the group's next tour.

The latest release from Glasvegas, which hit music store shelves earlier this month, is called Euphoric Heartbreak and according to HMV, the album boasts a combination of "emotional, anthemic chorus lines" as well as a "pounding" drum beat and brilliant guitars.

The album is the follow up to the band's 2008 self-titled debut, which was highly critically acclaimed and produced by legendary producers Flood, whose back catalogue includes albums by Sigur Ros and the Smashing Pumpkins.

Euphoric Heartbreak features 11 new tracks from the band, including World Is Yours The, Shine Like Stars, Dream Dream Dreaming and Euphoria Take My Hnad.

Its final song, Change, also features a spoken word performance by singer James Allen's mother.

The band may see plenty of Glasvegas t-shirts in the crowd at this year's Oxegen festival, as they have recently been added to the line-up. They will join legend Slash as well as Professor Green and the Manic Street Preachers at the Irish event.
