Glycol is determined – to take Brisbane’s music scene head on, creating a melodic yet powerful & chaotic sound, almost as if it comes naturally to each of their members. 

Glycol embody not only the calm but also the storm, their stage presence is unrivalled in the sense that it feels as if you’re genuinely able to gain a glimpse into their lives, personalities & relationship as a band, while watching them on stage.

Evan, Ljt & Carlton are Glycol – Luca (Bass) & Evan (Drums) provide the band with a rock solid rhythm section, coming across as highly acclimatized to each other’s playing as if almost interwoven. 

Carlton (Guitar & Vocals) is the Melody & the grunge of the band, using his lighter vocal range to create soft & dreamy vocals that allow his heavier raspier vocal range to explode, through the mix. 

I’ve been following Glycol since their early days, I was immediately captured by their distorted & wavy guitar tones, driven by a powerful punchy bass, reminiscent of the garage/punk scene of 80s/90s.

 I saw them live for a second time on the 19th of February at Backdock Arts – It was quite impressive to witness the progression they underwent since the last time I had seen them. 

They somehow exceeded all my expectations when it came to their performance. There was a point in their set which while in the middle of a riff, Carlton, their lead guitarist jumped about a meter off the ground, landing on his knees without missing a beat. 

Similarly their bass guitarist Ljt ended up playing his bass with a drumstick for a minute of his set.

 When it came to their last song of the night they initially introduced it without a name, which was promptly followed by ‘wait this song is called name.’ 

Watching Glycol interact on stage is something special. They never fail to create a warm & welcoming environment at their gigs, which feels a privilege to be a part of, if you don’t believe me come see for yourself!
