Sitting on a brown couch
inside a cavernous studio
at Downtown Jersey City's
artsy 111 First St.
building, I spent a
few hours with Yuengling
beer bottles and Doritos
bags strewn on the carpet
at my feet and rock
and roll rumbling through
my ears. And, to tell
you the truth, I'm damn
glad about it. Click

What ever happened to
the sensitive, soulful
side of rock n’
roll? I mean, it’s
never gone away, but
amid the koRns, the
P.O.D.s and Trapts of
the world and with the
re-emergence of shows
such as MTV’s
Headbanger’s Ball,
softer, more emotionally-charged
(emotion other than
anger, anyhow) rock
acts have taken somewhat
of a backseat. Well,
New York-based quartet
Damn Glad is damn upset
about that and their
debut full-length CD,
And That’s That,
is a damn good effort
at trying to bring their
brand of rock n’
roll back into peoples’
conscience. Click

Damn Glad, And That's
That! (© 2003 Fachetzamerde
Music)
This NY rock group takes
its name from its attitude
toward living, and the
fact that the band is
not, as they say, "angry
rockers." And the
music proves the point.
While energetic and
gritty at times, their
sound maintains more
of a pop sheen to it,
which perhaps comes
from maturity. Click

LOUD ENERGY
Matt started the group
in 1997. As the founding
member of the group,
the inevitable revolving
door of bandmates has
been in motion since
its original incarnation.
“In the past, I’ve had
band members that felt
more like business partners
rather than bandmates/friends.
The guys with me now
are no doubt, the best
I’ve had." Click

If modern rock radio is beginnig
to irritate your eardrums, well,
it's your own darn fault. Stop buying
in to the homogenized "adulternative"
trend set by the Big Five major
record labels, and turn your ear
towards DAMN GLAD. Click
