Glorium was a prolific art punk band that formed in San Antonio, Texas, in 1991.[1] After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1992, they released several 7-inch records and albums, many on local Austin independent record labels. Their music is a blend of post-punk, emo, art rock, classic rock, garage rock, progressive rock and noise rock with a strong DIY ethic.
They toured the United States throughout the 90's, sharing the stage with diverse acts as Fugazi, At the Drive-In, Lungfish, Slant 6, Jawbreaker, Hoover, , Spoon, Ruins, Brainiac, Shudder To Think, Seaweed, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, The Grifters, Man or Astroman?, Ed Hall, Trenchmouth, , playing basements, house shows, and clubs while booking their own shows, culminating in opening for Fugazi on their Southeastern tour in 1996 along with .[2] Tim Kerr (of Big Boys, Poison 13, among many others bands) produced their third single and first full-length album, Cinema Peligrosa in 1994.
Glorium went on a hiatus in 1997 but still reconvene to play the occasional show, most recently playing a benefit for the DJ Jonathan Toubin in December 2011 during the last week of Emo's downtown.[3]
