News Bits: Glassjaw & Zao

Glassjaw have released some light as to what’s going on with them. Sure it’s not details on what date their long awaited new is coming out or even in what kind of media they’re gonna release it in. Instead it’s a video for their new song (if you consider being premiered a couple years ago new) for You Think You’re (Fucking John Lennon). The video is them playing song live in what looks like an indoor pool area. I assume this video was made to compliment their new 7″ “All Good Junkies Go To Heaven”. If you were one of the lucky bastards that pre-ordered this I tip my hat to you and I hope you don’t sell this on ebay. Either way please enjoy this video, it’s kind of a big deal. The link is past the video, I am not allowed to show it unfortunately.
