Glass Ankle

The Skinny review of the performance at A Carefully Planned Festival #4

“Big on melody, harmonies and heart, shifting from power pop to soulful folk without missing a beat. A boisterous crowd falls for them big time. In a parallel universe, they’re already arena-fillers.”

..

Dots & Dashes review of the ‘Unlike You’ music video

“Arguably Glass Ankle’s most refined, and rather fantastic contrivance to date.”

..

Tom Robinson and Fresh On The Net  review of  “Unlike You”

“Lush, richly detailed and lyrically dark in tone it also pulls off this difficult task of making a funereal tempo – that could easily end up as a leaden dirge – groove like a bastard”

Getting Near Dawn review of ‘One of Them’

‘One Of Them’ would not sound out of place as an album track on Blur’s ‘Parklife’. There’s Verve and, indeed, verve abound here too.
Finally, congrats must go out for the couplet rhyming ‘Hovis’ and ‘pelvis’.

Aural Delights feature on the band

“Glass Ankle have been getting a lot of exposure lately- they were in the Metro paper the other day – not suprising really, marvellous tunes and a good acoustic/folkly/indie feel.”
