ImageAccording to the band’s bio, the members of Long Island’s Edison Glass have encountered every type of scenario out of VH1’s “Behind The Music” known to man. Now, that would be a pretty impressive feat if the band starting injecting Jack Daniels’ into their veins (Motley Crue) or one of the members beating up their long lost father (Oasis), but I am sure the alt-rock band has given many of the scenarios a run for their money.
The band, founded yearly a decade ago, put out their first record under the name Edison Glass in 2006, when their A Burn For A Shiver album was released. But the band out supporting their February 2008 release, Time Is Fiction. The material from the new record keeps the band’s style firmly intact, as straight ahead alt-rock jams like “Our Bodies Sing” and “Children In The Streets” that lead the album. The band plays an upbeat brand of rock. The easy to digest tracks “See Me Through” and the title track as also highlights from the new album.
The highly accessible brand of music the band puts out, caught the ear of the rising group Paramore, who aren’t doing too badly these days themselves. Edison Glass toured with the Nashville band and will meet up with them again for a show with Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth in September in New York. In the meantime, the band is touring and will hit the Magic Stick on July 15th with The Working Title.

The band will be on the road on this tour through July 27th before some random European dates before the shows in September. So, if you want to see if the band can live up to some of those “Behind The Music” stories on tour, check out Edison Glass at the Stick.

Edison Glass will open for The Working Title at the Magic Stick on Tuesday, July 15th. Tickets are $10 and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. Additional dates can be found at www.myspace.com/edisonglass.
