Your Name:
Anthony Ascenzi.
Where Are You
From?
Toronto, Canada.
Name Of Band?
Glass Ampp.
Who Else Is In
Your Band?
We are four musicians who have been perfecting our
craft from a young age - Scenzi (Drums), Porretta (Lead Singer), Gian (Lead
Guitar) and Stevie (Bass).
How Would You
Describe Yourselves?
High energy, hard-working and raw.
Who are your main
influences musically?
90’s rock and blues-driven guitar.
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
As musicians we hope to get our music out to as many
ears as possible, while maintaining our identities as musicians. We want to
rock as many crowds as possible.
What has been the
highlight of your career so far, and why?
So far the highlight of our career was a gig that
we performed when we were starting out as a band. It was at Tattoo Rock
Parlour, in Toronto. We got cut to a 20 minute set due to “bad” promoting and
the venue turning into a night club. The place was filled with people who have
never heard us and were looking to hear dance music. We got up to do our set
and people rushed the stage after hearing the first lick, we tore the roof off
the place. It was a highlight because for the first time we had a crowd that
had no connection to our music and no reason to support us go insane and freak
out over our music.
And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
When we came together as a band we were coming off
a string off hot gigs and the following week we went to do a set in Oshawa,
Ontario. When we got there the only people that were there were the bartenders.
This is the first time we were ever put in a position to play in front of no
one. It really hurt the morale.
If you could
choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and
why?
That song would have to be Time Flies. Iit’s high
energy, high intensity, but at the same time it has a deep personal meaning
behind it.
Where can we
listen to it?
Where can we find out more about your music?

Anything else
you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask?
We are a blue
collar rock band. We recorded our new EP Half Empty at Mushroom Studios in
Toronto, Canada, with Mathew Von Wagner (producer of USS,
Crystal Castles, and The Dunes) Mathew Cody and John Wozniak (lead singer of
Marcy Playground / Sex And Candy).
