Glyders - Forever


 Glyders’ new album Forever represents the culmination of years spent developing their sound through changing lineups, relentless gigging, and late-night recording sessions. Formed in 2014 by guitarist/vocalist Joshua Condon and bassist Eliza Weber, the band finally solidified when drummer Joe Seger joined, giving their music a newfound cohesion and energy. With this stable trio, Glyders channeled the shared intensity of touring across the US and Europe into a record that feels communal, tight, and joyfully alive.

The songs on Forever were shaped on the road, gaining physicality and groove as the band honed them in front of audiences. Tracks like “Super Glyde,” “Hard Ride,” “New Realm,” and the early composition “Tell Me About the Rabbit” showcase a confident, fully realized band sound—bluesy, hypnotic, and charged with rock momentum. Drawing inspiration from classic artists such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Band, T. Rex, and Leon Russell, Glyders blend vintage influences with their own evolving identity, producing both heavy-driving jams and sweet, melodic tunes.

Recorded at their home studio in Chicago and mixed by Cooper Crain, Forever crackles with lived-in detail and a DIY spirit. The album’s title and Eliza Weber’s collage-style artwork embody the band’s “for life” ethos—a mix of roots tradition, punk attitude, and tight-knit family energy. At just 37 minutes, Forever moves fast and smooth, inviting repeated listens as Glyders continue forging ahead toward new horizons.
