Gloin at Hotel Vegas at Volstead
Gloin is a 4-piece noise rock group from Toronto, Canada. Gloin was formed in 2018 by 4 friends with a shared passion for engaging and visceral live performance. After playing consistently in the Toronto music scene, Gloin recorded and released their debut EP Soft Monster that paved the way for invitations to music festivals like SXSW and New Colossus, opening slots for international acts such as Orville Peck and Moon Duo and an 18 date tour across North America. Gloin puts precedence on delivering an unforgettable experience live, and continues to carve out that reputation in every city they play in. Described as a “wall-of-sound Maelstrom” (Exclaim! magazine), Gloin ensures that no 2 shows are the same by leaving portions of their sets open for improvisation and experimentation, as well as following their instincts that louder is certainly always better.
