"Pretty big sound this from Cut Glass Accent; with vocals that sound more pop than rock but an awesome head-banging backdrop of scathing guitars and throbbin' bass, Cut Glass Accent make a somewhat cultishly commercial but powerful rockin' noise that's pretty distinctive and totally in-yer-face." - Cherryade/Credibility April 2009 - Toxic Pete Review

"This is a song to be played loud, with a fuzzy guitar line working all the time in the background to add a wall of sound to this single. Cherryade is a great song, pure and simple." - Cherryade/Credibility April 2009 - Die, Shellsuit, Die! Review

"This is a band that works together brilliantly to paint their material, each track having a different ambience, sometimes bordering on Psychadelic, other times Brit Rock and sometimes just downright heavy." - Mark Cocking, NE Music Live Review 2006

"An absolutely brilliant band, I would highly recommend" - Barry Wilson, October 6th 2008, Alternation on NE1 FM, Newcastle Community Radio.

We are Cut Glass Accent.

Formed in the latter half of 2002, Cut Glass Accent has been a frequent name in the local scene since their first show at the Blackbull in Bedlington back in August 03. In just over 6 years since their formation the band has played shows at venues as far and wide as Area 51 in Swindon to the 13th Note in Glasgow as well as famous venues such as Edinburgh's Whistlebinkies and The Stone Roses Bar in York as well as Newcastle's O2 Academy 2 (Previously Carling Academy) and Northumbria University.

In that time they have had the fortune to have self released 3 EPs and their debut album Fractures which is stocked and sold at HMV Newcastle amongst a number of local indie record stores. The band has also played with many well known established and highly thought of, up and coming band's including: "Hundred Reasons" (Kerrang! Best New Band & Best Album 2001), NME starlets "Johnny Foreigner" (Best Before Records), Reading & Leeds Festival veterans "Random Hand" (Rebel Alliance Records), Download Festival veterans "Keiko" (Lockjaw Records), Hardcore experimentalists "Klay" (Lockjaw Records), pop punkers "Mike TV" [Formerly Pickled Dick] (Banquet Records), Scottish 4-piece alt rockers "The Whisky Works", USA's emo/hardcore act "Waving At Strangers" and Spanish punkers "No Children".

After 6 years of struggle and hardship, Cut Glass Accent signed to Scattered Records in it's current lineup and plan to release a chart registered double A download single of Cherryade/Credibility on May 18th 2009 to precede their long awaited follow up to debut album "Fractures", "This Statement is False".

Potent and powerful punk which flirts with emo throughout, those crystal-clear vocals and wah-wah’d guitars giving added depth…" - Cherryade/Credibility April 2009 - Subba Cultcha Review

"Pretty big sound this from Cut Glass Accent; with vocals that sound more pop than rock but an awesome head-banging backdrop of scathing guitars and throbbin' bass, Cut Glass Accent make a somewhat cultishly commercial but powerful rockin' noise that's pretty distinctive and totally in-yer-face.

'Cherryade' is a stormin' song that blasts right out at yer; definitely the right choice as the 'A' side, 'Cherryade' demonstrates Cut Glass Accent's penchant for a sound that's familiarly unfamiliar! Cut Glass Accent don't sound like any other band even though they do tend to make a big rockin' melee of a noise that's almost, but not quite, predictable!

Cut Glass Accent manage to stay just on the sane side of manic metal; the barrage of electric noise is pretty immense but thankfully errs more towards classic rock than the newer, more satanic sub-culture. And, even with so much going on and even though they create a massive sound, Cut Glass Accent still manage to get the vocals out in front and understandable. 'B' side 'Credibility' is more of the same insanely driven monster rock but this time just a touch less commercially viable; 'Credibility' doesn't tend to flow as well as the 'A' side and the pounding guitars are one step nearer to the metal form. It's a crackin' 'support' song and gives the listener a decent insight into what Cut Glass Accent are and what they can offer.

'Cherryade' / 'Credibility' by Cut Glass Accent is a tasty single that's possibly just too 'metallic' to become a mainstream 'hit' - however, with loads of followers of heavy, heady rock music out there, Cut Glass Accent could still do pretty well with this well delivered and powerful work." - Cherryade/Credibility April 2009 - Toxic Pete Review

"I was sent a CD a few days ago by an absolutely brilliant band called Cut Glass Accent from Northumberland and I've listened to the CD and it's absolutely amazing I'll give it 10 out of 10, unfortunately I've somehow misplaced this. I'm in the process of getting the duplicate copy and I will guarantee both Cut Glass Accent and of course you the listener [Of NE1 FM in Newcastle] that I will play it as soon as I get a copy. But don't let the fact that they're not being played on this week's show sway your decision about [them], if you do see Cut Glass Accent playing a gig or a copy of their EP anywhere I would highly recommend [that] you pick it up and buy it" - Barry Wilson, October 6th 2008, Alternation on NE1 FM, Newcastle Community Radio.

"A new rock band to hit the scene that have some really cracking tracks for people of all ages and in my opinion have a sound combination like The Lost Prophets meets American teen movie soundtracks which is not a bad thing.
A great band to listen to and I have been told (By many of my friends) that they have a great live performance as well.
Some of my favourite songs include Wave your banner, Cherryade and Credibility.
Another band that will go far so keep a look out for them and go and see a show as all my friends that have; came away very happy." - Kris Black, Entertainment Reviews, August 2008

"This is a band that works together brilliantly to paint their material, each track having a different ambience, sometimes bordering on Psychedelic, other times Brit Rock and sometimes just downright heavy. An interesting and eclectic mix of material. I suspect that this band would go down a treat at University and College venues. This band is young and refreshing, but shows a maturity in their writing and performance which, I cant help but feel, will soon lead them on to bigger things. I look forward to hearing their next album project and will certainly go to watch them again." - Mark Cocking Ne-Music.co.uk (Live review Spring 2006)

"A really good effort from the lads, got some good point and not soo good points, but on the whole a sound album that , when heard by the right ears could get them the respect they deserve this type of music is not my style , nor do i hate it, its kind of an easy listening record, anyone with the tastes of radiohead, cold play, moby, should give this a definite once over . 7.5/10" - Gary Northscene.co.uk (Fractures review 2005)
