Live Acts Canada Presents:
OurGlassZoo Album Release Show w/ Summers Brother, Ria Jade
OurGlass Zoo
A fresh mix of electronic rock with a few drops of synth pop are the secret ingredients for the Vancouver based band OurGlassZoo.
The band’s debut EP in 2017 made it to the semi-finals of the biggest online songwriting competition (ISC) which featured judges such as Lorde, Kaskade, Tom Waits & Bastille. The singles ‘Somehow Somewhere’ and ‘Listen’ enjoyed extensive radio play in both Italy and the UK in 2018.
The follow up EP entitled ‘Hindsight’ was released through SONY Orchard and currently has 375'000 streams on Spotify. The singles ‘Astronaut’, ‘Sins’ and ‘In Your Head’ enjoyed radio play in Italy, the UK, USA and Canada. The band’s first official music video for ‘Astronaut’ starred actor Georgie Daburas (Edward Spellman on the Netflix hit series Sabrina). It was nominated for best music video at the London Music Video awards and won ‘Best Rock Music Video’ at the LA Music Video awards in 2020.
The band released its second music video for ‘Sins’ in 2021 which gave the band international attention with prestigious awards at the Munich Music Video Awards, The Berlin Short Film Festival, The Rome Music Video Awards and the Canadian Cinematography awards to name a few. The video always received a Leo nomination that same year. In early 2022, OurGlassZoo released its highly anticipated first full length album entitled ‘Aftermath’ with the support of Creative BC and the government of British Columbia. The single ‘Free’ included a collaboration with multiple Juno award winning hip hop artists Prevail & Moka Only (Swollen Members). The track was remixed by renowned producer KutMasta Kurt who has worked with the Beastie Boys and Linkin Park.
The follow up single ‘Here’ debuted on Canadian national radio (CBC one) while the third single entitled ‘Reminisce’ with Indonesian-Canadian electronic producer O.K.A jumped to over 50'000 streams in less than a month on Spotify and was used as a title track in a film. The band was labeled ‘new breakout artist' by magazines such as Exclaim! & The Guardian.
In 2023 the band released their music video ‘Free’ and ‘Free Remix’ on Radial by SONY Orchard, a platform with 3 million subscribers, and the videos combine for nearly 100K views so far. This also earned the band ‘artist’ of the month on !Earshot, Canada’s biggest college radio station distributor.
In the fall of 2023 the band recorded its fourth album entitled ‘Horizons’ with the support of Creative BC & the government of British Columbia at Monarch Studios.
The first single ‘Home’ with O.K.A and pop singer Rachael Schroeder (‘Handmaid’s Tales’) was released on May 24h, 2024 through SONY Orchard while the single ‘Burn’ was released on June 16th. The album will be released at the end of August this year with 3 more singles set to come out prior including the anticipated single ‘Shut Up’ that will be promoted though Fritz Media along with the band’s new music video.
The album release show will take place at the Biltmore in Vancouver, Canada, on Friday, September 13th. The band is scheduled to tour the UK in the fall of 2024.
