Long Island, NY-based progressive hardcore band Gla**jaw was formed by singer Daryl Palumbo and guitarist Justin Beck, longtime friends who began collaborating as teens. Roster changes regularly plagued the group during its formative years, with guitarist Todd N. Weinstock, ba**ist Manuel Carrero, and drummer Sammy Siegler completing the lineup for Gla**jaw's 2000 debut album, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence. Siegler was replaced by ex-Orange 9MM drummer Larry Gorman for the band's summer tour in support of the Deftones. Carrero was also replaced by Dave Allen. Two years later, Gla**jaw inked a deal with Warner Bros. and issued Worship and Tribute in July 2002. The band saw more membership changes in late 2004 when Weinstock left to pursue his own band -- Men, Women and Children, and Manuel Carrero rejoined in place of Allen. Singer Daryl Palumbo's side project, Head Automatica, also took Gorman away, Durijah Lang coming on in his place. After a two-year hiatus, Gla**jaw played three shows in 2005. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
