Glaskaros are an alternative rock band from Zurich, Switzerland.

Since 2008, Pascal (vocals), Raph (bass) and Frank (drums) have played both electric
and unplugged sets to dozens of enthusiastic audiences. Their rich and varied alternative
rock sound has most recently been captured on their debut EP Remedy which was released in April 2011.

2007      Pascal starts his solo-project P.Quiet and produces his 3 am EP, which is limited to
              one hundred copies. Eager to bring his music to the masses, he finds Frank (drums),
              Tommy (lead guitar), and Beni (bass), thereby completing the first stage-ready line-up.

2008      After a few shows, the line-up had evolved into a true band, so they decided to call
              themselves The City. They record a couple of new demos (Got to Make You Mine,
              Me and the Sea, Detours); their set now includes a dozen original compositions. At
              the end of the year, Beni leaves the band.

2009      Raph joins The City in the spring; a couple of months later they are once again ready
              to hit the stage. The following fall, one of their concerts is broadcast live on
              Radio Radius and they advance to the semi-finals of the RockHighway Contest.

2010      The band is looking for a new name to leave a permanent impression - GLASKAROS
              should do the trick. In January, they are invited to the Acoustic Song Contest, and the
              band plays a first open-air thanks to the MyCokemusic Soundcheck. In late June, their
              acoustic set pays the last respects to the Alte Metzg and marks the last gig with
              Tommy.
              The following month, Detours is download of the month at Backstageradio.ch, and
              GLASKAROS present themselves for the first time as a trio. In late August, the band
              starts the recordings of their debut EP, Remedy.
