South of England alternative rock outfit GLASS BRIDGES have released their new EP, In Reverence To All That We Are, arriving November 13, 2026, through Year Of The Rat Records. Fronted by Simona Cutifani, the band blend atmospheric melodies, post-grunge energy and emotionally charged songwriting, creating a sound that balances expansive musical textures with deeply personal expression. Following their recent signing to the label, home to acts including RINRIN, SAVE US and BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE, this new EP marks another important step in the band's continued rise. With more than 4.5 million streams and over 120,000 monthly Spotify listeners, GLASS BRIDGES have already built a substantial audience for their music.
The band's growing profile has been supported by extensive touring across the UK, performances alongside established names from the alternative scene and appearances at festivals including 2000 Trees, RADAR Festival and Mangata Festival. Their live reputation has been matched by media attention from BBC Radio 1, Kerrang Radio, Kerrang Magazine and Distorted Sound Magazine, alongside editorial support from Spotify, TIDAL, Apple Music and Deezer. With In Reverence To All That We Are, GLASS BRIDGES bring these experiences together in a new collection that further explores their emotionally driven approach to alternative rock.
One of the EP's central themes emerges through “Absolution,” whose lyrics were written as a deeply personal reflection by Cutifani. The vocalist describes the song as a love letter to her younger self and a commitment to remain open to life, embracing its changing seasons and the cyclical nature of human existence. She also sees it as an honouring of the human spirit through acceptance and an intimate connection with the world around us. This perspective captures the personal and reflective character running through the band's songwriting.
With the new EP now available through Year Of The Rat Records, GLASS BRIDGES are preparing to take the material on the road for a UK release tour alongside label mates ECHOCHAMBER. In Reverence To All That We Are arrives at a moment when the band are expanding their reach while staying connected to the emotional honesty that defines their music. For GLASS BRIDGES, this release is more than another milestone; it is a statement about growth, acceptance and the experiences that shape who we become.
