Biography - Biography

Formed in 2016 in a geographical triangle bounded by Cité 2000, Studios de Rouen and Longueuil Pizza, Thick Glasses was born amidst lunch sessions filled with endless discussions of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones & practice room jams stuffed with Girl Scout Cookies, popped BBQ Doritos, PBR pis amps with the volume cranked up to 11. Instinctively combining the catchiness and speed of Descendents and Vulgaires Machins with the groove and heaviness of Cancer Bats and Red Fang, the band offers a confusing mix that they label as slu$h punk, their revamped Montreal version of sludge music. Too heavy for rock bands, too soft for heavy bands, Thick Glasses shrugs off the advice of purists and makes its way through the Montreal underground with the ultimate ambition of artistically pushing the boundaries of what's possible, while constantly infusing it with the essence of its own identity. In 2020, the trio released a second EP and joined forces with Montreal label Hell For Breakfast. ////// Thick Glasses was born out of the geographical triangle anchored by Cité 2000, Studios de Rouen, and Longueuil Pizza and solidified amidst never-ending Star Wars: Attack of the Clones conversations over brunch and jams loaded with girl scout cookies, bold BBQ Doritos, PBRs and amps cranked to volume 11.Combining instinctively the catchiness and speed of Descendents and Vulgaire Machins, with the groove and heaviness of Cancer Bats and Red Fang, the six songs make a for a perplexing mix that the band self-describes as "slu$h" punk; the revamped, Montréal-version of the more common "sludge" genre. Too hard to call it a rock band, too soft to call it heavy metal, they don't care about other people's opinions and keep bulldozing their way through the underground Montréal scene. The band always gives itself the mission to push artistic boundaries whilst maintaining the essence that makes the true Thick Glasses sound.In July 2020, they announced their association to the Montreal-based record label, Hell for Breakfast for their upcoming projects.
