Another great band overlooked upon a bunch of not so favorable (and mostly unwarranted) Joy Division comparisons. Influences are certainly there, most notably in Eric Cope's vocal delivery, but Glorious Din were in no way just derivative of JD. They brought so much of their own to the table. GD songs for instance tended to have much more jangly guitar-work, sometimes even giving the sound a touch of Blues and Country. There's certainly more of a "Western"-feeling to them. Yet, at the same time, they also had quite a few North-African and Eastern influences here and there. It's a great and quite unique blend. An overlooked Post-Punk gem. They deserved so much more attention than they got.
