THE JERSEY JOURNAL
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.

This radio friendly, easy listening album uses soft melodies combined with driving guitars and insightful lyrics as their staple. Click here to read the full review

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.

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 here to read the full review

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."

WOODSTOCK TIMES
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.

THE MUSICIANS EXCHANGE
DAMN GLAD delivers the goods on their recent CD EP. A sampler to wet your appetite for more is what you get. Their songs and sound are planted but not limited in the alterna-rock camp.
