Friends for years, the mcGloens individually played in and out
of other aspiring local bands. They found that their musical tastes
were similar and together they played all the essential instruments
needed for a band. So they started one. The mcGloens began learning
cover songs together and writing original material in the fall of
1999.
The mcGloens bring together influences as varied as R.E.M., The
Samples, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Poole, Rush, and James Brown. The
result i s a collection of well-written, catchy pop songs, and a
high-energy live performance.
