Glasshouse is a five piece band from Norristown, PA,USA.Originally formed in 2001 By lead vocalist John Salamone and guitarist Nick Vacante, the band now boasts It's strongest line up to date with keyboards by Tom Stafford, drummer Dan rader and bassist Paul Pileggi. The sound of the band is deeply rooted in strong melodic interweaving among all of the instruments including the voice. The pride of this band is truly their song writing as each song is designed to stand alone. They encompass diversity in their stylings ranging from full blown percussive rock in the vain of American and British bands from the beat rock sixties as well as a heavy nod to bands from the early nineties alternative scene. The softer side represents moody and underlying dark emotions. The over all sound is something that will always continue to evolve with the growth and exploration of the individuals at it's core, never paying real attention to common trends but always keeping an open ear to the sonic calibers and textures that a'rock' band can posses. In 2004 the band won the Emergenza battle of the bands in Philadelphia. As victors they performed in front of more than 35,000 people at the Taubertal open air festival in Germany.
