Glyphic
The members of Glyphic see their music as a symbolic method of communication; as a means of expressing ideas and/or emotions. As such, the name Glyphic is perfectly fitting for this Denver based hard rock quartet.
Founded in 2005 after a chance meeting between singer Ryan and bassist Shawn, Glyphic has generated a significant following in Colorado and beyond over the past several years, opening for such national acts as Trapt, Egypt Central and Onesidezero. The band has gone through several lineup changes over the years, finally settling on Eli as a lead guitarist and Ken on drums.
In the sea of incoherent metal and whiny pop-punk that is out there in music today, Glyphic stands out of the indie scene with a solid balance of aggressive riffs, melodic quality and introspective lyrics and a sound that is often compared to Chevelle or Breaking Benjamin. This is hard rock at its best, with songwriting that possesses enough of an aggressive edge to please metal fans while still maintaining broader appeal.
The band’s debut LP, “Everything Eventual”, features some of the best tracks to be found in independent rock today, including “Of Dark and Quiet” which is currently in the top 40 tracks of the alternative chart on songvault.fm. Six tracks from the 12-song LP can be heard on glyphicmusic.com or myspace.com/glyphicmusic.
With regional touring in support of “Everything Eventual” currently in the works, and plans for a sophomore effort within the next year, it’s clear that this band is well on their way to following in the footsteps of the numerous other artists to come out of Denver and hit the national scene.
