Top 5 Feature: GloryHole

With an eclectic composition of influences--ranging from punk, pop punk, hardcore, post-hardcore, emo and the vexed resentfulness that comes from late '90s, early 2000s nu-metal--GloryHole gives the listener a varied experience in the nuance of the most visceral of human emotions.

Hailing from the impoverished epicenter of the rust belt in Southern Ohio, the cluster of friends found a voice for themselves in the music they created together. A sound defined by the eccentric, often unconventional guitar stylings of guitarists Esther Brodess and Max Rose, a hard hitting and melodic rhythm section consisting of Kyle Belcher and Alex Gaddis and the unique vocals, along with the poignant, introspective, and honest lyricism of Jim Vest (the Satanic lovechild of Elliot Smith, Kurt Cobain and GG Allin). Vest's signature vocal approach noted for it’s propensity to depart from a faint whisper to a shrill howl at a moments notice.

GloryHole as an act, in and of itself, is an experience. Nihilism aside, this is not an outfit who takes themselves too seriously, as they are quite capable of finding humor in anything.

“Dirty, Disgusting, Ohio, Punk Rock” are the words the band themselves use to describe what they are pursuing. It’s hard to argue that as much hasn’t been achieved.
