Glow Scout belongs to a classic DIY-rock tradition that stretches back to the jangly college rock of the '80s and the underground sounds of the '90s, but their rich, vibrant, restless sound belongs to the present.
Formed in the wake of their departure from Southern California in 2010, founding members Rob Jackson , Angela Rizk and Long-time collaborator Mike Calvert recorded Glow Scout's lo-fi debut We're Lost but Making Good Time in a farmhouse in the Central Valley on their way to the S.F. Bay Area, where the band is now headquartered. Glow Scout's ethos is to not be constrained by genre, the one continuous element being the DIY spirit. Between 2010 and 2016 they released 9 albums with a rotating cast of contributors. The stand out album, Art, was released in 2014 on Ductape Records. Following a 7-year hiatus, a new wave of inspiration struck in 2023. Long-time collaborator Mike Calvert joined as a permanent member and Glow Scout hit the garage to record what would become the album The Big Let Down. Recorded DIY by the band, it was then mixed by Bill Stevenson and mastered by Jason Livermore @ The Blasting Room. This new direction goes back to their beginning, with a stripped-down urgency. Joined by new member Miguel Gomez, Glow Scout is ready to embrace their rebirth with amps turned up to 11.
