GLASS RUMOURS
STILL DANCING TONIGHT
Most bands drop a new single with a bit of buzz and a teaser on socials. Not Glass Rumours. They’ve spent the last two years holding back. Not just a few demos either, think finished songs, polished videos, and ideas stacked up like dominos, all waiting for the right moment. That moment? June 6th, 2025.
It’s called the Tsunami Release. Ten weeks. A wave of music. They’ve been sitting on what they call a “stockpile too big to carry,” and now they’re ready to let it all loose. The plan? Build a genuine following from the ground up, one track at a time, without chasing algorithms or gimmicks.

The first song in the series has a backstory as unexpected as the band itself. Gemma, one-half of the duo, recorded her vocals while floating somewhere out in the middle of the ocean. She works on cruise ships, which meant setting up a makeshift recording booth in her cabin and hoping the waves didn’t mess with the takes. Somehow, it works. There's a calm in her voice, layered over the kind of moody, shimmering instrumentation that Glass Rumours are quietly mastering.
The other half of the band is Paul Mead, a guitarist and designer whose day job involves creating visuals for some of the biggest names in the game, Sleep Token, Taylor Swift, Iron Maiden, Charlie XCX, the list goes on. It’s rare that someone steps out from behind the curtain like this, but here, he’s not designing the stage, he’s on it.
The ambition isn’t just to release music. It’s to connect. They’re not rushing into shows, but 2026’s already pencilled in for festival slots. That gives them a year to build something real, fans who don’t just listen once and move on, but people who stick around.
It is also worth noting that Paul’s last track landed a spot on US prime-time TV (Temptation Island). So, they’re not exactly coming in cold.
Glass Rumours might not be shouting the loudest right now. But give it a few weeks. That wave’s about to hit.
