Glasgow is a new wave of British heavy metal band formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1982. The band released one studio album Zero Four One in 1987, before splitting up in 1988.[1]

History[edit]

Glasgow was formed in the city of Glasgow in 1982, taking their band name from their city of origin.[2][3] They released their first demo, Glasgow, in 1983, followed by the EP Glasgow's Miles Better in 1984. Glasgow's first full-length LP Zero Four One was released in 1987, before the band parted ways in 1988.[3][4]

In 2009, Glasgow reformed without Mick Boyle as a tribute to their former drummer Joe Kilna who died that same year.[5] Glasgow reformed again in 2021.[6]
