History

Isles & Glaciers was first rumored to exist after Craig Owens (Chiodos, Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows) and Jonny Craig (Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa) performed a show in Lexington, Kentucky on August 30, 2008.[4] Owens confirmed the rumors on September 4, 2008.[5] Alternative Press announced the project officially and released the band's final lineup on December 15, 2008.

On January 18, 2009, both Owens and Brian Southall premiered three rough demos, "Clush", "Hills Like White Elephants", and "Empty Sighs and Wine", for an upcoming EP, and took part in an interview with 89X Radio in Windsor, Canada.[6]

Isles & Glaciers played their first and only scheduled live show on March 21, 2009, which was presented by Alternative Press at Emo's Bar in Austin, Texas for a free show during SXSW.[7][8][9] In an interview done by DJ Rossstar on Stickam, Craig Owens stated that members in the band want to perform future shows in random locations, such as Alaska.[10]

Their debut EP, The Hearts of Lonely People, was released on March 9, 2010.[11][12] A remix of it was released on November 11, 2014.[13]
