Windowpane is currently the most popular independently distributed hard rock band in the Seattle area market and is beginning to reach many others. Windowpane is bringing the raw & ugly truth that IS American, dirty guitar driven, Rock & Roll back into the light, and people are hungry for it! Foregoing fancy stage props and theatrics, the band's backdrop consists of vintage Marshall and Ampeg stacks, fronted with low slung Les Pauls and Fenders. Their sound is unique, gritty and dark, tailored with an angry blues essence that dances with loose and powerful grooves worthy of the classic rock icons. Their lyrics are honest, open and relate to a vulnerability that is within all of us. This genuine, infectious approach coupled with emotionally fueled live performances has generated a tremendous Northwest fan base and is beginning to have the same effect on the rest of the nation.
"Windowpane in my opinion is one of the next big things to come out of Seattle. It is a band made up of unique and extremely talented individuals that all come together and bust out one hell of a show EVERY time. The energy and passion that these guys put behind their music is simply brilliant, you just can't help but get sucked into it."
-John Voge, editor of Exotic Underground Magazine
Working with veteran Producer Brett Eliason (Pearl Jam, Mad Season, Neil Young, Audioslave, R.E.M etc.) the band released "Daybreak," their newest full length album. The release party for this CD was a sold out event at The Showbox Market in downtown Seattle (1100 capacity). Seattle's flagship rock radio station, KISW 99.9 FM has been featuring the songs "Remains" and "House Of Cards," both on air, and with heavier rotation within its streaming broadcasts. KISW has also been involved in directly sponsoring and on air promotion of all Windowpane events since the release. To date Windowpane has sold thousands of copies of Daybreak in their home market alone, to an ever growing fan base that just cant seem to get enough.
Windowpane has several songs from the Daybreak album placed in soon to be released feature films. "Show me the Way" will be played in its entirety in the closing credits for the movie Evil Angel, starring Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, the Mission Impossible films, etc). The song "Used to Be" has been placed in the Sundance feature A Different Corner along with several of the bands acoustic limited release recordings. Further licensing for the band is being handled by Jennifer Cornett at The BK Entertainment Group.
With the Seattle market well in hand, the band is beginning a nationwide push via intense touring coupled with web and radio promotion. "People are really responding to what we're putting out there, in every single city we play! We have no choice at this point but to keep this thing out and working on a nationwide basis," says singer/guitarist Glenn Cannon. The crowd's reaction to Windowpane as a support act on the road has been overwhelming, selling a massive amount of CDs and merch at every show. From Facebook to MySpace and ranging a large array of on-line music forums, streaming internet radio stations, and all digital media outlets, they are gaining new fans everywhere, everyday. Windowpane seems to be the breath of fresh air that so many die hard rock fans are starving for. Talented and powerful with hooks galore, minus the glitz and glamour. Windowpane is honest hard rock for the silent majority.
