Glass Bridges is all about spreading the message about 'self-actualisation' and to 'champion' the determination to embody our authentic selves. The band has carried on this message with their debut EP 'Myria' released in September 2024.
The band told us about what their debut EP 'Myria' is all about:
"Myria is an EP that champions authentic expression with the intention of freeing the heart from the confines of societal expectation. An EP that progressively builds in pace, in determination, before a drop off into peace, into rest, into acceptance and surrender. The journey of life. It follows the seasons starting with Rain at the beginning of spring, getting more intense through the releases after calming down at the beginning of autumn with Painted Skies."
Every track on this album is an absolute powerhouse, evoking the energy and intensity of bands like VUKOVI , As Everything Unfolds and Night Thieves. With soaring emotional vocals and anthemic instrumentals, it pulls you in, making you not just hear the music, but feel every note deeply.
The band told us what each track on the EP is all about:
"RAIN explores the concept of grief and loss, in ode to the pain that inevitably pairs with love. It is a honouring of what it of it means to suffer in service to something higher. It is a reminder that through allowing our tears to flow, our grief to be seen, and our cries to be heard, we are able alchemise our pain into something truly magical - we just have to be willing to meet it first. It echoes the season of Winter and the elements of all of its death and undoing, to clear what has been, to make space for what will be. "
"WAR is an anthem that considers the nature of conflict, whether internal or external, in recognition of the spirit of fire that exists within all living beings. It was borne in the determination to overcome limitations, to rise up to that which we are afraid of with unparalleled strength. It is a reminder of the creative force that exists within us all- that we are able to dictate the realities in which we exist, and actively contribute to the creation of a world that champions love above all else. WAR is an ode to Spring, and the emergence of new life that triumphs over any odds. "
"ECHO explores the themes of purpose and duty, and the choice to rise to this life with all that we have to offer, and to meet all that she offers us in turn. Its essence is mirrored within the vitality of Summer- where the seeds of our souls are in full bloom and steeped in adventurous spirits. It is the full-bodied awakening that allows us to explore play and curiosity with unbridled freedom- and the commitment to ensure that all beings are able to do the same."
"Painted Skies is a ballad of rest, a point of pause and reflection upon the journey that has been and all the ways it has shaped who we are. A moment to appreciate the stories that our steps have written, the colours that our souls have painted and the dreams that have come to life before our very eyes. It is an acknowledgement of all facets of this existence, of all emotions and feelings and experiences that enable us to feel and be truly alive. To walk this earth as we do is a wonder in itself, and Painted Skies is an ode to the depths of divine beauty that existence within every single moment. "
"MYRIA is an attempt at capturing some of the essence of the universe in which we exist. It is an honouring of the emotional body, of the feminine, of the creative and eternal spirit that exists beyond time. We aim to empower both ourselves and others in whatever ways we are able, to fully meet all aspects of this existence with grace, with fierceness, with joy, with confidence-to move beyond fear and exist only in love" - Glass Bridges

Novacaine Rating 10/10: "Glass Bridges debut EP MYRIA is nothing short of stunning. It's hard to believe this is their first EP release based on the sheer quality of these tracks, you'd expect them to be a seasoned, big-stage touring act. The fact that they're only just beginning makes their future all the more exciting. If they can deliver something this impressive with a debut, it leaves you wondering what other surprises they have in store."
