Alt pop and the female power

March is Women’s Month. And of course, I couldn’t fail to celebrate the talent of all women, especially in pop music and its subgenres. Thanks to women, pop has risen to the top of the mainstream and doesn’t seem to be leaving anytime soon.

Glass Mansions

Glass Mansions, led by the charismatic, sultry voice of Jayna Doyle, is an Altpop trio from Austin, TX influenced by modern and 90s pop, heavy synths and tight, dance-friendly rhythms. Their music is propulsive and elastic, with bubbly pop-melodies, lush electronic beds of sound and intelligent, intimate lyrics. Live, it’s pure Rock n’ Roll – raw, sweaty, passionate and covered in a cloud of fog and confetti – and chances are you’ve probably seen Glass Mansions at some point or another as they’ve crisscrossed the country, playing places like SXSW, Warped Tour, Daytrotter, Canadian Music Week, Indie Week Canada, South Sounds and Florida Music Festival.
