All rock and roll was meant to be fun. Pure and simple. "Thats the bottom line," says singer/ bassist Mini Mendez in describing the vibe of The Glimmer Stars. For two decades now, this Southern California band has been writing, gigging, and most importantly, recording, one song after another of Rock/Pop (or sometimes Pop/Rock) tunes with solid backdrops of loud, sweet, romantic, and memorable hooks, but also somewhat tough songs that can leave a mark on the heart and soul of anyone that has chosen to give ear. Starting back in 2000, The Glimmer Stars have taken listeners to the upbeat, frantic drive of songs like "Sugar Blue" and "One Glorious Moment", to melodic crafted gems like "Time And Place" and "Marcella", just to name a few. The music is soulful yet serious; faithful yet fun. And, heres the good news; this band may have not even peaked yet. (One writers humble opinion.) Please enjoy The Rise of The Glimmer Stars. Its a compilation that was made for you. Seriously.
