Bio from Spotify: 
“Sydney based alternative-pop trio GLADES combines atmospheric synthscapes, reverb-laden guitars, with complex electronic pop beats. Multi-instrumentalists Cameron Robertson and Joseph Wenceslao formed their musical bond writing and producing artists from home, later adding vocalist, Karina Wykes to form Glades. The trio met during their high school years. GLADES write and produce their music internally as a unit. They now work closely with their management team ‘Saiko Management’ who were responsible for the breakout success of Lorde.

Their second single, ‘Drive’ released on January 26, 2016, secured a ‘Pigeons and Planes’ blog premiere and quickly gained momentum online. With the help of actor & tastemaker Chloe Grace Mortez, the song peaked at #4 on Hype Machine’s Popular charts. ‘Drive’ also has great success on Spotify, with over 30 million streams to date (with no label support). Drive peaked at #16 on Global Viral charts, #10 on the US Viral charts, and #4 on the Australian Viral charts.

GLADES have also gained strong hometown radio play on Triple J, with their single ‘Speechless’ securing high rotation. Their debut EP titled ‘This is What It’s Like’ was released on October 21, 2016, which saw a music video premiere with Nylon Magazine and a single release with V Magazine.”
