Glimpse

Originally formed in 2006, Glimpse's style has been described as dark, introspective rock. To achieve there sound Glimpse combines the unforgettable melodies, haunting voice and powerful lyrics of Josh Ott with the evocative lead guitar and driving rhythm of Jason Ott. Add to this the propulsive bass and drums of Josh and Nick Platter and you have the exciting new brand of modern rock that is Glimpse. The music is hook laden at its best, with lyrical substance that stands above the crowd. Glimpse avoids the cliche's of most modern rock bands by staying true to themselves and there integrity. Add this to an incredibly electrifying live show and you have a band poised to make there mark in a big way.
