With a fan base of two hundred people, GlenCove, a punk rock band from Mesa, Arizona are quickly gaining recognition. They have played several shows opening for bands at the Mesa Underground.  The band consists of four boys: drummer Jorgen Gregg, guitar and rhythm leader JonJon Johnson, bass and vocals Tyler Aldawood and lead guitar and rhythm leader Alex Aldawood.

The band formed as a trio in the third grade, with Johnson joining in eighth grade.  Drummer Jorgen Gregg said the band began officially making music in their sophomore year.   Their band name came from the street name of Gregg’s home.

GlenCove is releasing an EP album, early this fall though the title has yet to be determined. An EP album is a shorter album instead of having ten to twelve songs it will have six or seven. “We’ll probably name it something stupid,” said Gregg; this will not be their first attempt at an album. “Our first album was a garage album which was stupid,” said Gregg.

However, this will be the first album released to the public. “Most of our song ideas come from life experiences or ideas from our head” said Gregg. “We usually practice once or twice a week,” he stated. Though, the band writes from personal experiences, they draw inspiration from the WonderYears and Titlefight. “We’ve performed eleven maybe twelve of our songs, maybe more,” said Gregg.

“All of the bands families are very supportive, really help us out. They come to shows and stuff, we get free dinner,” said Gregg.   “We want this to be serious and make this our future,” stated Gregg. The boys do have backup plans if they cannot make it in music. Johnson wants to be a paper salesperson, Alex Aldawood a Kindergarten teacher, Gregg a therapist for troubled kids, and Tyler Aldawood a ghost whisperer.
