Glassjaw's First New Album in 15 Years Is Out Next Week

Much-loved Long Island post-hardcore band Glassjaw have confirmed details of their first new album in 15 years. It’s called Material Control and it’s out next week, December 1. The band have also shared a single from the album, “Shira,” a bludgeoning, churning chunk of melodic punk-metal that starts out angst-ridden and rises to an expansive chorus.

The announcement ends over a decade of rumors around Glassjaw’s third studio LP. Their last full-length, Worship and Tribute, came out in 2002. Since then, the band has disbanded, reunited, toured, released a couple of EPs, and even released snippets of new, supposedly album-ready music. But LP3 was never locked in.

A few Material Control details slunk out of the online retailer Amazon last week. The existence of the record itself was all-but confirmed on the band's social media pages over the last few days.

"New White Extremity," released in 2015, will feature on the 12-song album. Check out the cover art and full tracklist below. Listen to "Shira" at the top of the page.
