Galen
Name:
Galen Criscione
Hometown: Ridgefield,
NJ
Family background: I was born in Washington State and grew up in New Jersey. My dad was a full time musician when I was a little kid and I got a lot of my musical influence from that. My mom also played the saxophone. I remember going to sleep when I was a little kid hearing my dad's band in the basement playing Cyndi Laper's "Time After Time."
Birthday/sign: May 13. Taurus
Musical influences: U2 is my favorite band. Pink Floyd, Beatles, Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen, Talking Heads, Led Zeppelin, Audioslave, The Police, Richard Ashcroft, Buddy Holly, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Elvis; a lot of classic stuff!
Favorite record(s)/why: Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. This album has the best lyrics I've ever heard and also has the best guitar solo I've ever heard. It might be mostly a Roger Waters album but the guitar work is also amazing.
Career aspirations: To do what I want when I want, I suppose.
Good habits: I'm nice.
Bad habits: I'm Lazy.
Recent job(s): Corporate legal nonsense
Worst job: Car salesman.
Favorite hangouts/why: Crocodile Lounge because they have free pizza and awesome games.
What's so special about the band? It's not an easy thing to get four guys together who are on the same page musically and can make songs that we all really enjoy playing.
What does being in Glacier Garden mean to you? It's what I look forward to the most.

Nickname(s)/who calls you this? G. Also the people at my eye doctor's office call me Mr. Galen because they don't want to deal with my last name.
