Gliss–Kick In Your Heart (Mountain Lo-Fi Recordings)

Alternative/Punk Rock album Gliss, Kick In Your Heart

Plenty of hype surrounding this trio from Los Angeles, especially after landing the opening act for Billy Corgan’s European tour. Possessing a certain flair for haunting melodies and melancholy, it’s no wonder Billy Corgan found interest in  singer Martin Klingman’s lucid and raspy vocal style and David Reiss’ distorted and flanging guitar, as Corgan must have been reminded of the early days of Smashing Pumpkins. Promising beginning with this seven-track EP. —CQ
