Glassjaw is a four-piece post-hardcore band from Long Island, New York. The band was formed by lead singer Daryl Palumbo, (drummer and later guitarist) Justin Beck, former guitarist Todd Weinstock, former bassist Ariel Telford and former guitarist Kris Baldwin who had been friends from a young age. The band was formed around 1994 while Beck was also playing with Jewish Straight-Edge band, The Sons of Abraham and Palumbo was in his own straight-edge band called XbustedX. The line-up has undergone many changes since the birth of the band. Second generation drummer Sammy Siegler was replaced by Larry Gorman (ex-Orange 9MM) and second generation bass player, Manuel Carrero was replaced by bassist Dave Allen. In late 2004 Todd Weinstock, Dave Allen, and Larry Gorman left the band due to a multitude of reasons. Glassjaw had been considering moving down to one guitarist for a while, and the band felt it was time to make some changes. Todd founded his own band, Men, Women and Children. Allen was replaced by ex-member Manuel Carrero of the band The Jiant, who rejoined the band after three years away from it. Durijah Lang, also a former Glassjaw drummer and current member of Classic Case, replaced Gorman behind the kit. Glassjaw are under the wing of pioneering producer Ross Robinson and are members of Robinson's I Am Recording label. In October 2005 the band released a B-side EP of songs not used in the bands second album Worship and Tribute called El Mark. After a two year hiatus, the band played three shows in 2005, two at The Downtown in Farmingdale New York, with proceeds going to charity and also, a spot on The Used's tour at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
