Episode 122: Steve Babb of Glass Hammer
from Michael's Record Collection · host Michael Citro
Just when you think you know Glass Hammer, everything changes...the lineup, the vocalist, the style. Arise is another concept album from the Tennessee-based progressive rock project headed by Steve Babb (and, usually, Fred Schendel), but it's the band's first space opera. It's also a much heavier album than what longtime Glass Hammer fans are used to hearing. Steve was kind enough to talk to me about the new album, which drops next week, as well as his musical past, how he met Fred, some of the artists who inspire him, and much more.
