The Glasses Otter

"Fusing intricate math rock precision and still retaining the extreme force of a credible metal band is an idea that looks good on paper, but when it comes time to strap on the gear and go for it, there are countless ways it can go wrong. Miami's The Glasses Otter have managed to not only sidestep those pratfalls, they seem poised to crush any obstacle that may stand in their way. Verving from tight picked melodic riffs into assaulting walls of noise, each of these songs has a few songs within itself, keeping the listener off guard and never knowing what's going to knock them down next. Smart metal seems like an odd commodity at times, yet these guys have a knack for lyrics that are serious without being trite and guitar gnashing that will keep you on your toes." -cdbaby.com



"3 K's- NOISECORE WITH WACKY TENDENCIES
THIS EP from Miami quartet The Glasses Otter reveals a band lurching hyperactively through some complex noisecore, often recalling the irrepressible spirit of Botch. As a debut release, it doesn't quite pack the same punch as their heroes, but the alt-rock feel lurking around the edges of the record shows that they're developing their own character. And, as you might expect from a band with the word 'Otter' in their name, not to mention a song called, er, 'Gnfpwhmm.', there's a vein of surreal humour throughout; imagine the Dillinger/Patton collaboration if it had been played for laughs, and you'll get the idea.
FOR FANS OF: Botch, The Dillinger Escape Plan" -Olly Thomas Kerrang! magazine



"If you thought technical metalcore was dead, you'd better get your hands on a copy of Asleep on the Carousel ASAP, even if just for the sake of curiosity. Comparable to the Dillinger Escape Plan and as capable as early Botch, this Miami five-some are lashing out at the world with their blend of musical ingenuity and chaos. Each of the six tracks on this album is different than the last, albeit consistent in the melodic riffs and groundbreaking aggressiveness that litter this beautiful mess. The often unpredictable timing, coupled with layer upon layer of bass and complex drumming, is shocking in itself, even without Steven Coffman's villainous vocals, which are admirable since it's gotten far too common to have one individual in a group sticking out like a sore thumb. Find this and enjoy it because these types of unique albums are few and far between." -Andrea Dyer Exclaim! Webzine



"Some things are just indescribable, such as the first time you tasted chocolate, the first time you saw a movie and the first time you see a Glasses Otter live performance. Walking the fine line between genius and insanity, the live show is something you have to experience for yourself. From the time they take the stage with probablly the best walk on intro I have ever seen till the mic hits the floor for the last time, your ears and eyes are treated to one of the most intenese and heartfelt shows I have witnessed." -MattWurm Wearethescene.com webzine
