Glass Ampp Q&A

Your Name:

Anthony Ascenzi.

Where Are You From?

Toronto, Canada.

Name Of Band?

Glass Ampp.

Who Else Is In Your Band?

We are four musicians who have been perfecting our craft from a young age - Scenzi (Drums), Porretta (Lead Singer), Gian (Lead Guitar) and Stevie (Bass).

How Would You Describe Yourselves?

High energy, hard-working and raw.

Who are your main influences musically?

90’s rock and blues-driven guitar.

What do you hope to achieve in music?

As musicians we hope to get our music out to as many ears as possible, while maintaining our identities as musicians. We want to rock as many crowds as possible.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?

So far the highlight of our career was a gig that we performed when we were starting out as a band. It was at Tattoo Rock Parlour, in Toronto. We got cut to a 20 minute set due to “bad” promoting and the venue turning into a night club. The place was filled with people who have never heard us and were looking to hear dance music. We got up to do our set and people rushed the stage after hearing the first lick, we tore the roof off the place. It was a highlight because for the first time we had a crowd that had no connection to our music and no reason to support us go insane and freak out over our music.

And what’s the moment you want to forget?

When we came together as a band we were coming off a string off hot gigs and the following week we went to do a set in Oshawa, Ontario. When we got there the only people that were there were the bartenders. This is the first time we were ever put in a position to play in front of no one. It really hurt the morale.

If you could choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?

That song would have to be Time Flies. Iit’s high energy, high intensity, but at the same time it has a deep personal meaning behind it.
