The first thing we try and do when we listen to an album, any album, is try and pigeon hole it, to compare it to something else, to go oh this sounds just like so and so. That's really hard when you listen to 'Playground for Life, because Glyder don't really sound like anyone else, not entirely at any rate, which in and of it's self is a nice change.

The album is chock full of big time melodic rock songs that any fan of the genre is liable to gush over, but this is quite a mellow album for the most part, to pigeon hole them myself it's almost like Tesla and Pink Floyd got confused, and we've got a half and half album here. That's a pretty good assessment of this beast, you've got some very good guitar solos, but you've got an almost Dave Gilmore vocal on there too.

It's strange to say the least, but it works, and then just as you seem to be getting comfortable with it the pace picks up just a touch and your looking at a more traditional classic rock album, Thin Lizzy getting their ideas into the mix.

Interesting it certainly is, and they have been asked by Fish to accompany him as special guests on his upcoming UK tour. You don't get a much bigger recommendation than that.
