[http://radio3.cbc.ca/bands/GLO CBC Radio 3 - New Music Canada - Artist - Glo ] ] They consist of Rick (vocals), Eddie (guitar, bass, keys), and Patrick (drums). glo first came onto the Montreal music scene soon after the start of the new millennia.

Their self-titled debut received favorable reviews and spawned the single ‘Wither’ which appeared on the soundtrack for the TV series Higher Ground. [http://www.sonicgarden.com/sonic-web/artist.cfm?artistid=6274 Sonic Garden :: glo ] ] Soon after the release of "glo", they were invited to perform at NXNE in Toronto, Canada and the ‘In the City’ music festival in Manchester, England.

After taking a brief hiatus to refuel the creative juices, glo released their highly anticipated follow up ‘Off to the Races Vol. 1’, in early 2007. The energetic EP marked an exciting departure for the modern rock band. Soon after its release, the new material began getting regular airplay in stations across Canada. On the strength of the infectious songs and their strong live shows, glo signed a record deal with the Morojele Music Group/Fontana North in the fall of 2007. The new album, "On the Outside", will be released across North America in the summer of 2008.

"Off To the Races Vol. 1" was named "Best Provincial Rock EP" and the single "Off to the Races" was named "Best Provincial Rock Song" in the 2007 Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards. [ [http://www.torontoexclusive.com/awards/provincialnominees.html nominees ] ]
