OurGlassZoo shares the same sentiment in their latest single “Shut Up” that talks boldly about facing those who belittle others for their own personal motives. The alternative rock band that hails from Vancouver, Canada features effortless vocals on the track that scream lyrical stabs like “Shut up, I’ll dance around you in unison and in my own way.”

“’Shut Up’ is a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever faced doubters, manipulators, and energy-drainers—those who seek to control and diminish others for their own gain,” shared lead vocalist/lyricist Josias Tschanz. “Whether it’s an educator telling you you’re not enough, a boss questioning your capabilities, an ‘industry professional’ trying to crush your dreams, or a politician peddling hate, we’re here to say: Enough is enough.”

Made up of Josias Tschanz’s lead vocals/lyrics, Garrett Woon on guitar, Ramon Crespo on drums, and Scott Rogers on bass, the band’s powerful message leaves you with a sense of rebellion against the system. 

The music structure of the song opens up with the ferocious vocals of Tschanz, and the soft guitar strikes of Woon, before picking up the pace during the chorus, giving a full sound that fills your ears with a revolt like no other.

“It’s a powerful reminder that you don’t need to be defined or confined by someone who doesn’t truly know you or who unfairly judges you,” continued Tschanz. “Instead, ‘dance around them’—let them be nothing more than minor roadblocks on your journey, not the obstacles that stop you.”

On that note, we can’t wait to hear the full album “Horizons”, which will be out on September 13th and we hope that it carries the same bold tone that “Shut Up” has portrayed.
