Slammin' Gladys are back!
After nearly 30 years Slammin' Gladys (Dave Brooks, J.J. Farris, Stephen DeBoard and Al Collins) have teamed up with new label, Cleveland based, Jib Machine Records to hit the ground running with a red-hot new album called TWO.
A refreshingly diverse 'frog in a blender' mix of melodic hard rock, dirty blues, funky pop-metal sleaze and '70s glam stomp TWO is forward thinking party music for 2021 with one foot still firmly planted on a Sunset Strip dance floor circa 1992.
The nine song album features the singles Dragon Eye Girl and Hold Up My Blue Sky alongside new songs Toxic Lover, Lose My Mind, Durango, Lost In Texas, Light Up, Ice Water, Poison Arrow.
Check out our latest video Hold Up My Blue Sky.
