Glowing Brain - Memory Distortion TGIC155
GLOWING BRAIN is back with 10 more tracks of Motör-charged rock n roll mayhem. The band's sophomore album "MEMORY DISTORTION" is set for release on May 9, 2025 via The Ghost Is Clear (vinyl) and Master Kontrol Audio (cassette). Hailing from Oakland CA, the band has been honing their self-described "Long Hair Punk" since 2018. With an EP and LP already under their belts, "MEMORY DISTORTION" sees the boys lean deeper into their influences (Motörhead, Voivod, Annihilation Time) while delving further into psychedelic induced/inducing anxiety.
The title track 'Memory Distortion' is a three-minute exhibition of GB's sharpened blade: pounding d-beats under overdriven tones, tasty licks, soaring leads, and lyrics about the sordid sides of substances. This lead single offers enough saturation for even the most dehydrated of heshers.
With triple digit decibels and more than enough Rock n Roll to keep the long hairs headbanging, GLOWING BRAIN is a band to unite all fuzz freaks and heavy music lifers. Head on over to their bandcamp to stream the title track and pre-order the new record - or grab one this summer when the Brain Train rolls through your town on tour. Pump your first, spill your beer, and bang the head that does not bang.
"That's why I love GLOWING BRAIN: Because I love weed and hate doom metal."
