Barfly

The Glassband are an up and coming London-based musical collective who's line-up is ever fluctuating. The core of the collective ihas up to this point been Composer/3D Artist Glassman and Singer/Illustrator Lisa Sara Jenkin who are lovers as well as bandmates. The music is passionate and harmonious and has attracted the attention of an evergrowing collection of hugely talented bandmates. Since its inception in early 2009 the band has grown from strength to strength, playing prestigious venues such as the Barfly and 93 Feet East. The band's current line-up includes the songbird Steph Horak and Education frontman Lawx.

Brother Ali's last album, the critically acclaimed, The Undisputed Truth, was a landmark in hip-hop, an album that carried weight equally with critics and fans alike, an album of bold statements and bolder beats, politically and socially aware without being preachy. His new album, Us (Rhymesayers Entertainment), is a progression that will make Brother Ali one of the most enduring figures in hip-hop; while still aware, Ali has turned his gaze inward, and started examining the human condition from the outside in. A profound personal glimpse into a vulnerability seldom seen or heard in music, Us touches on the strengths and flaws of the human condition, exploring drug abuse, divorce, homophobia and many more topics that most people are scared to touch in their own lives, much less on an album for the world to see.
