Broken Glass

Broken Glass

Broken Glass is a group from Los Angeles that is active in the 1990s rock era and later ends. It is associated with two members, Marc Diamond and David Harte.

Early 1970s British blues band

One Broken Glass appears in the early 1970s British blues scene, when Stan Webb steps away from Chicken Shack to form the group. This line-up includes Miller Anderson, Robbie Blunt, Mac Poole and Rob Rawlinson. Webb, Anderson and Blunt share guitar duties, and the band builds a live reputation with a three-guitar sound. EMI finances the debut album, which receives strong reviews on release. The project collapses after management problems, despite the quality of the material credited to Webb, Anderson and Blunt.

Hip-hop and electro project

Another Broken Glass begins as a breakdance crew before two members, Kermit and Fiddz, work with Manchester DJ Greg Wilson and musicians Martin Jackson of Magazine and Andy Connell of A Certain Ratio. They record the electro track Style of the Street, which leads Morgan Khan of the Street Sounds label to involve them in a UK electro compilation. To support the idea of a larger British hip-hop scene, Khan assigns fabricated artist and writer credits across the release. Most of the album is by this group, apart from one track by The Rapologists.

1990 heavy metal group

A further Broken Glass is a heavy metal band that records one album, A Fast, Mean Game, in 1990. It releases on Chrysalis and is described as a groove-oriented, bluesy hard rock and arena rock record. The album includes tracks such as Worst of You Yet, Long Way Home and Mexico.
