San Diego rockers Glean, known for their emotionally charged melodic post-hardcore and punk rock sound, will release their new album "World's Apart" on October 3rd, 2025 under Sunday Drive Records. With that, the band has also released lead-single "Sediment" with an official video streaming below. Drawing inspiration from emo, pop-punk and melodic hardcore influences from the 90s and mid 2000s, their sound is defined by heavy guitars and their trade-off clean and gritty vocals with shout along choruses. Fans of bands like older like Seaweed, Samiam, Jawbreaker and Title Fight, along with newer bands like One Step Closer and Anxious will love this stuff. The new songs showcase Glean's growth as song writers with super catchy anthemic songs produced by Max Epstein (Photographic Memory) and mastered by Phillip Odom (Militarie Gun, Glare). Check out official video for lead single "Sediment" below along with previously released single "Receive You" now streaming everywhere. Official press release and pre-order below.
Sand Diego melodic post-hardcore band Glean have announced their signing to Sunday Drive Records and new album "World's Apart" set for release on October 3rd, 2025. With a foundation of San Diego’s punk influences from Drive Like Jehu, Blink-182, Heroin and others, a band like Glean naturally have a sense of melody. Formed in 2019 by four kids (now young adults), the band blends that melodic instinct with their love of punk and hardcore, crafting energetic, emotional, and catchy songs in the vein of Seaweed, Samiam, Jawbreaker, Lifetime, and Title Fight.
“Worlds Apart” is Glean’s first album in years and their debut on Sunday Drive Records. It feels like the record they’ve been building toward since their 2020 demo. Now with a refreshed lineup, the production of Max Epstein (Photographic Memory), and mastering by Phillip Odom (Militarie Gun, Glare, Ivy League TX), Glean have been able to write some of their catchiest songs yet. On lead single “Sediment,” Boucher and Barkley trade vocals over scratchy guitars that build up to the line, “I can feel you fall beneath the sediment.” That same energy flows into “Receive You,” featuring guest vocals from longtime friend Sam Allen (Anxious, G.I. Bill). Glean also pulls back on the track, “Exit Wound” that sounds much more quiet and intimate, almost like a lost Mineral or Texas is the Reason song.
“Worlds Apart” is sonically abrasive, while still carrying melody, poetic lyrics and tons of emotions.
