LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Okay, my dears - You rock! We had an amazing reaction to our brand new name, website, and design last issue. I had such a fun time putting it together, and all the extra work was so worth it. It’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole year since my very first experience in magazine publishing. I’ve learned so much (I hope you can tell!) and I hope I’ve come just as far when Glacier 3.1 rolls in next year. BIG big thank you to all the contributors, who made my job incredibly easy and rewarding. Your art, music, and writing is beautiful, and I feel honoured to have each of you in this issue. I still love what I do at Glacier, and what Glacier does for others: Spotlighting little-known talent, artist by artist. Welcome to your FIFTH issue of Glacier Magazine! Love, Emily Traver, Editor ▲

SWEET SOUNDS / THEN CHECK OUT
ARCHITECTS, HERE AND NOW
We’ve played Asking Alexandria’s first and most-favourited album enough times to know each lyric, drum pattern, and guitar breakdown better than the band itself. So we were beyond stoked to discover Architects, a UK band who’s toured with big named like Dead & Divine, Bring Me The Horizon, Deez Nutz, and August Burns Red. While they don’t particularly mimic AA’s sound, they do share a heavy, melodic, crowd-pleasing style (of which we, clearly, are huge fans). It’s likely you’ve heard of them already, but if not, give Architects a try -- you won’t be dissapointed. ▲

MATT: As of right now we’re just taking a break from playing shows. Just so we can get productive and start writing some new material.
DAN: We’re hoping to tour this summer but nothing has been set in stone. We’re still in the process of writing, booking and figuring ourselves out.
GLACIER: Speaking of your upcoming album, how will it differ from your previous work?
MATT: We’re really not striving for any particular sound or feeling. Just anything that we feel passionate about and gets us going. It’s tough to categorize ourselves and say whether or not it will be a big deviation from our last EP or something a little more familiar. We’re just hoping it all translates well into material that we think sounds good.
GLACIER: What’s the best part of a live show? MIKE: For me, the best part of playing a live show is being able to let loose and get absolutely sweaty and silly. Having people approach us afterwards is an

incredible feeling as well.
JULIAN HERRERA: I just do it for the women -- but I don’t get any.
DAN: Being a really shy and awkward person normally, stepping onto the stage allows me to release my frustrations. Music has made it easier to really express myself.
GLACIER: Do you have any advice for younger bands who are trying to start out?
MIKE: We haven’t been doing this long enough to really give advice, but I guess we could try anyways: Find a group of like-minded people or your best friends, and make music that you love. Don’t do it for anyone else and don’t let criticism get the best of you. The first couple months and even the first few years will be a huge struggle and test those friendships and your commitment. But you have to learn to compromise and always keep in mind why you got into making music in the first place. If you’re in it for the right reasons, you’ll go far. ▲
