We Are Not a Glum Lot

We Are Not a Glum Lot is an indie-rock group based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado.Their lineup consists of Sam Erickson (Main Vocals/Guitar), Zac Blum (Backup Vocals/Bass), Colin Foxwell (Violin/Guitar), and John Carey (Percussion). We Are Not a Glum Lot's sound has been described as "jazzed-up indie-pop/math-rock, with a more palatable vocal theory that just screams out '80s art/punk/wave".Unlike most indie rock groups, the band utilizes a violin, played by Colin Foxwell, ran through an amplifier and occasionally drenched in pedal effects to give their style a unique twist.While the band is still of high school age, they have been regarded as an important staple in their local music scene.Bill Forman of the Colorado Springs Independent referred to the group as "High School Prodigies".Notable acts the band has opened for include: Tim Kasher (frontman of Cursive), O'Death, Andrew Jackson Jihad, and David Bazan. The band has currently been recording their first full-length album with Dino Belli of The Flumps, in Florence, Colorado.The album is set to be released around Spring 2012.A single entitled This One Battle was released on the groups BandCamp page in December 2011.
