Formed in 2003, Kids In Glass Houses quickly developed a fearsome live reputation while debut album ‘Smart Casual’ cemented their position at the forefront of the buzzy Brit Rock scene. ‘Give Me What I Want’ and ‘Saturday’ remain generational-defining anthems.
Named after a Glassjaw song, the Cardiff-based band had plenty of snarling swagger but also took heavy influence from the creative, boundary-pushing pop music of the ‘80s. “We did something different, and no one really knew where to place us,” grins Aled, with the band playing shows with Bon Jovi, Manic Street Preachers, Fall Out Boy and Paramore among others. “We didn’t really know what we were doing either, but there’s a charm to that,” he adds.
