Heavy, melodic and built on riffs that hit hard, Dublin grunge duo Glass Pawns make a sound far bigger than two people should. Led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jamie Dean, the band is forged from more than a decade of international touring and studio work, turning raw energy and hard-earned experience into something that’s loud, catchy and impossible to ignore.
Dean spent 10 years touring the world with acclaimed post-rock outfit God Is An Astronaut, contributing to multiple studio releases, before joining Gavin James‘ live band. In Glass Pawns
he finally steps out front on guitar and vocals, joined by powerhouse drummer Gary McGuinness, frontman of riff-rock act The Survival Code. The duo have already opened for alt-rock act Fangclub at Dublin’s Whelan’s, supported God Alone at The Workman’s Club and taken their sound overseas for a first London show at The Hope and Anchor.
Debut single “Shame” lands on November 13th: a riff-driven track about owning your worst
behaviour. It’s the first taste of debut EP “Withdrawal“, due in 2027 alongside the band’s first
headline show.
“A huge part of recovery is learning to own your past, including the parts you’re ashamed of. Writing this song, I started wondering why that’s so hard for people, especially the ones with the most to answer for. ‘Shame’ came out of that question.” – Jamie Dean
