OurGlassZoo
noun, plural: ourglasszoos.
The entrapment of the mind that prevents purpose, creativity, colour and greatness.

A fresh mix of electronic rock with a few drops of synth pop are the secret ingredients of the
Vancouver-based band 'OurGlassZoo.”
The band's debut EP in 2017 made it to the semi-finals of the biggest on-line song writing
competition (ISC) which featured high end judges such as Lorde, Kaskade, Tom waits, Bastille
and the late Chris Cornell. The songs 'Somehow Somewhere' and 'Listen' got radio play in both
Italy and the UK in 2018.
The follow up EP 'Hindsight' was recorded at Monarch Studios with Juno award winning
producer Tom Dorbzanski ('The Zolas') & Alex Penney. It was released through Sony Orchard &
Volunteer Media On March 20th, 2020.
Since its release, ‘Hindsight’ has nearly 300K streams on Spotify while the songs ‘Astronaut’, ‘Sins’
and ‘In your head’ have enjoyed radio play in Italy, the USA and Canada.
The single 'Astronaut' was also the band's first official music video, which stars Georgie Daburas
who plays Edward Spellman on the Netflix hit series 'Sabrina' and Karissa Ketter (‘Kim Possible’),
who was nominated for a Joey award for her performance. It won ‘best rock video’ at the LA Music Awards. The follow up Music Video for the song 'SINS' was nominated for a LEO Award and won many prestigeous awards globally including Berlin, Rome, Munich and the international Music Awards.
In early 2022, OurGlassZoo released its highly anticipated first full length album entitled ‘Aftermath’ with the support of Creative BC and the government of British Columbia.
The single ‘Free’ included a collaboration with multiple Juno award winning hip hop artists Prevail & Moka Only (Swollen Members). The track was remixed by renowned producer KutMasta Kurt who has worked with the Beastie Boys and Linkin Park.
The follow up single ‘Here’ debuted on Canadian national radio (CBC one) while the third single entitled ‘Reminisce’ with Indonesian-Canadian electronic producer O.K.A jumped to over 50 '000 streams in less than a month on Spotify and was used as a title track in a film.
The band was labeled ‘new breakout artist' by magazines such as Exclaim! & The Guardian.
In 2023 the band released their music video ‘Free’ and ‘Free Remix’ on Radial by SONY Orchard, a platform with 3 million subscribers, and the videos combine for over 100K views.
This also earned the band ‘artist’ of the month on !Earshot, Canada’s biggest college radio station distributor.
In the fall of 2023 the band recorded its fourth album entitled ‘Horizons’ with the support of Creative BC & the government of British Columbia at Monarch Studios. The first single ‘Home’ with O.K.A and pop singer Rachael Schroeder (‘Handmaid’s Tales’) was released on May 24h, 2024 through SONY Orchard while the single ‘Burn’ was released on June 16th. The album will be released at the end of August this year with 3 more singles set to come out prior including the anticipated single ‘Shut Up’ that will be promoted though Fritz Media along with the band’s new music video.




The Concept



OurGlassZoo is a society where trite routines are the norm as its citizens lack both purpose and empathy. The "zoo" keeps the individuals in captivity, trapped in a glass bubble, reliving the safety net of comfort while conditioning the tamed mind, preventing them from achieving their full potential.The band name is displayed in colour to remind us that light is trying to break in to break us out. It is the beginning of an awakening of self-determination and possibilities. The band members are freedom fighters for that movement.
