Glassacre have finally announced a release date for the first single to be taken from their eagerly awaited (and overdue!) debut album. The single titled ‘September 16th’, will be released on the 22nd of November with the album now slated for release in late January 2008. We’ve heard cuts from the new album and we can safely say it is sounding amazing. Read their Myspace blog for details on the single and a series of excuses as to why the album is late. While you wait have a listen to a cut from their gorgeous Slow Attack EP.
