   About The Glass Family
'Sleep Inside This Wheel' is currently in rotation on most college radio stations across the country. Help keep it going by calling your local station and requesting something from the album!





DID YOU KNOW? "The Glass Family Are So Hot Right Now." -Skatterbrain

"...expect greatness from the local fivepiece. With Sleep Inside This Wheel, they have achieved total evolution." -The Austin Chronicle

"'Sleep' makes a strong case for an imminent rise into indie rock stardom for the Austin five-piece... The Glass Family has taken indie rock... and made it fresh." -Urban Pollution

"Austin's best songwriting rock group... weave distinct and generally simple beats, riffs and hooks into a layered, sonic tapestry that's almost orchestral in nature." -Pop Matters

"Their epic songs have the musical depth of Wilco and Mercury Rev, with dense compositions and soaring melodies that make you question that the Glass Family claims this is their debut album. While most groups take three or four albums to make something as solid as Sleep Inside This Wheel, these guys have already hit a homerun. " -The Tripwire

"Sleep Inside This Wheel reaches for the prog-like keyboard-heavy edginess of Radiohead's 'Kid A' or, to go back even further, Pink Floyd. But the band skirts both pretension and gimmickry, sounding, if not wholly modern, at least fresh." -Texas Monthly

Last night I had a dream that a lot of your new songs were going to be chopped and screwed. I didn't think much of it, but Frank seemed to think it was a really good idea. Don't listen to Frank.
