Ground Control Touring

‘Everywhere is War’ is the latest release in the bands ongoing singles series. Conor Oberst joins the band in creating a protest anthem over a digital soundscape. Written during an uncertain time in an extreme and polarized political climate, the track reflects on a world at war. With the title referencing Haile Sellasie’s 1963 address at the United Nations, the lyrics illustrate a cautionary tale with Conor’s signature croon lending to an ominous texture to the track. The band first met Conor Oberst in 2013 when they were enlisted to support Desaparecidos on their U.S. tour following the release of ‘Blowout’.

Produced by Adam Reich (Shea Stadium) at Second Base Studios, this is the second in a series of homegrown singles in collaboration with friends of the community-based DIY band. Last December the band released ‘This Could Be Christmas’ alongside Spider Stacy of The Pogues. Upcoming releases feature artists such as Cults, Juan Wauters, reggae legend Big Youth, Slothrust, Matt & Kim and more.

The So So Glos are a band from Brooklyn, New York consisting of brothers Alex Zarou Levine (Alex Orange Drink), Ryan Zarou Levine, and their stepbrother, Zach Staggers. The three have been playing music together since 1992, when frontman, Alex, was just 5 years old. Matt Elkin joined the band in 2007 and along with their childhood friend / producer, Adam Reich, the act spent the better part of a decade on the road playing Lollapalooza, Riot Fest & countless other festivals and tours both domestic and international.

In 2013 the critically acclaimed ‘Blowout’ was released which landed the band an odds-defying performance on David Letterman, where, while still unsigned, they made their television debut. In 2016 the band put out the John Reis (Hot Snakes) produced ‘Kamikaze’, which was recently rediscovered by the New York Mets who used ‘Going Out Swingin’’ in their 2022 post season hype reel.

Known for both their music and their legacy of founding underground venues the Market Hotel and Shea Stadium Brooklyn, the band has always been proud to champion their hometown’s music scene. The Glos will bring to stage their energetic live show at the dates listed below with more shows to be announced.
