"Put aside your misconceptions about
what hardcore should be - this is
Glasseater, a Miami based band that
blends melodic punk with a fierce
hardcore backbone to showcase intensely
honest songs about life's trial and
error. Chameleon-like in their ability
to evoke different moods mid-song,
Glasseater's raw punk fury and
contagious, tight hooks are fresh and
invigorating. The band has been a
praised for years - Ink 19 raved,
"Florida band Glasseater wins the
creativity award for now. They've
managed to take giddy pop-punk, make it
a bit darker, and throw in some hardcore
undertones...some of the best and most
innovative music in punk and hardcore

Formed in Miami in 1998, Glasseater
began as a progressive rock band mixing
several influences. They quickly
became known for raging live
performances that quickly earned them a
growing following of loyal fans. Shortly
after playing out they attracted the
attention of Ides Of March Records, who
released their debut album, "Miles Ahead
Of Where We Left Off." Glasseater hit the
road with a vengeance, establishing a
reputation as one of punk rock's
hardest working bands, sharing the
stage with A.F.I., Dillinger Escape
Plan, Green Day, Dashboard Confessional
and many others. They continued to record
prolifically as well, recording an album
for Eulogy and their third album with

As a band from Miami, a city that is a
melting pot of cultures, the members of
Glasseater have diverse ethnicities.
Singer Julio is Columbian, guitarists
J.C. and Ariel are Cuban, bassist
Anthony is Cuban, Mexican and Chinese and
drummer Nate is German-American. "The
fact that we are all from different
places adds color to our sound, we all
listen to different music, so when we
start writing we blend it together",

In March 2003, Glasseater signed to
Victory Records and hit the studio in
May to record "Everything is Beautiful
When You Don't Look Down." They recorded
with producer James Wisner (Dashboard
Confessional, New Found Glory). "We
chose James because we've worked with him
before and we trust him to capture the
sound we are looking for, and he has a
great work ethic," Julio said. Writing
the album was a new experience for the
band, "Since J.C. lives in South
Carolina now, he was burning ideas onto
disc and sending them to us to add parts
to, and then on tour we would practice
in the van while we drove," laughs
Anthony. "But we had a lot more time to
work on it than we have in the past, so
we are really proud of the record".

The songs on the record cover aspects
of life that everyone struggles with,
from honest communication with oneself
and others to love, facing fear and
living without regrets. The title
track, "Everything Is Beautiful When You
Don't Look Down", was written to express
the importance of opening one's eyes and
mind, of questioning the status quo and
forming individual opinions to lead a
more fulfilling life. "The concept was
around for a while, the chorus was done,
but I finished it up on tour before going
into the studio. Everyone in the band
feels strongly about thinking
independently and being open to new ways
of thinking, so it came naturally",
commented Julio. Other standout tracks
include "Art of Communication",
"Greetings...Goodbye", "At Your Own
Risk" and "To Feel Adored". The CD also
contains enhanced footage, including an
in-studio documentary, interview footage,
a music video for "At Your Own Risk" and
access to a secret website.

"Everything is Beautiful When You Don't
Look Down" hits the streets on August
26, 2003, and to celebrate, Glasseater
will do a headlining tour with
label-mates Bayside in direct support.
