Bio

Long-time allies to their LGBTIQ peeps, The Glasses decided to bring their indie and electro-pop sensibilities with the message of acceptance in their brand new album, Love Is Queer. Their witty lyrics will make you laugh and perhaps even pause for reflection. Lines like "We love, just like you / only in better shoes" and "Love is Queer, my dear / affection is mighty gay," showcase the playfulness that is evident in every song. The Glasses sweet boy/girl vocals, jangly guitars and soaring synths propelled by electro beats are sure to be the hit of the summer!
