Biography

The phrase “Long Live All of Us” is the title of Glossary’s seventh full-length album, but it’s also meant as an all-inclusive homage to humanity. Frontman Joey Kneiser says, in light of all the bad things happening in the world, the band just wanted to make a positive record.

Long Live All of Us allowed the band from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to take their influences farther than ever before, adding piano, haunting pedal steel, R&B-influenced horns and more to their own style of romanticized rock & roll. The songs are well-intentioned narratives that emphasize the great attributes of mankind — mercy, redemption, forgiveness and second chances.

Over a period of one month, the band transformed a house in rural Rockvale, Tennessee, into a recording studio and self-produced Long Live All of Us with friend and engineer Mikey Allred. The setting, joked Kneiser, would have fit perfectly into a Glossary song. The house was sandwiched between a church and a condemned meth lab, which was still wrapped in police tape.

Previous records — like 2010’s Feral Fire on Lucero’s Liberty & Lament label — were all recorded in 10 days or less, and were made to have a live feel. For the first time ever, the band had the luxury of time on its side.

“That’s the rock & roll dream…to live in a house and write and record together all day,” says Kneiser. “It allowed us a chance to experiment, and if you really wanted to do something you could take the time to make it happen. It was really one of the greatest creative experiences that I’ve ever had.”

    I'm just trying to figure out why it's taken me this long to discover this band. I suppose it doesn't matter much now because as of today and into the future I will be a person who knows of this band and can only be a better human being because of it.

    Underrated? I would say more "Under the radar." I am continually amazed how many people have never even heard of them. Without a doubt, Glossary is one of the bands that really gives me faith that there is brilliant music being made all across america if you can just find it. Cheers to Glossary and get back to Milwaukee soon!

    Why are the Better Angels tracks not part of the last.fm database? That album is a free download at glossary.us ...

    So true. Fantastic lyrics on "Little Caney". The whole album is awesome.

    "Little Caney" is as fine a song about living (and dying) in the South as I've ever heard.
