The Glands

With the Athens, Georgia music scene receiving national press from the likes of R.E.M. and the B-52's, members of the Glands knew that they wanted to create something their hometown was known for. So instead of having a sound that resembled laid-back college rock or wacked-out party rock, members Ross Shapiro (vocals/ guitar) Joe Rowe (drums), Craig McQuiston (bass), Frank McDonald (guitar) and Doug Stanley (keyboards) shaped more of a darker, laid-back, brit-pop style that doesn't cross the line of dismal or brooding. Bar/None Records eventually took a shine to the Glands and released their 1997 debut entitled Double Thriller. Capricorn released their self-titled second album, which arrived in 2000. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
