Glorium

Glorium was a prolific art punk band that formed in San Antonio, Texas, in 1991.[1] After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1992, they released several 7" records and albums, many on local Austin independent record labels. Their music is a blend of post-punk, emo, art rock, classic rock, garage rock, progressive rock and noise rock with a strong DIY ethic.
