Tip your bartender

Not only a proof of good manners, but also a Glassjaw song. The first song on their second full-length album Worship And Tribute. Glassjaw is a four-piece post-hardcore band from Long Island, New York. The band is fronted by vocalist Daryl Palumbo and guitarist Justin Beck, and has undergone numerous line-up changes since their inception.
Next is the video for Ape Dos Mil a song also featured on that record. The main theme of the video is adultry. There are 2 versions of this video but I like this one best.

Palumbo suffers from Crohn's disease, which has acted as inspiration for much of his musical output, most notably in the lyrical content of Glassjaw's major label debut Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence. During his illness a friend of his got into an affaire with his girlfriend (which probably formed the inspiration for this video). Worship And Tribute marks a huge stylistic change for Glassjaw. Rather than the extremely abrasive metal-influenced hardcore sound on the first album, this album moves more towards experimental rock. This album only returns to their old style fully in the album's opening track Tip Your Bartender. Glassjaw is currently working on a third album. On November 28, 2008 the band posted the full studio-recorded version of "(You Think You're) John Fucking Lennon" on their website as a hidden track. In a post made on his Twitter on June 14th, Palumbo stated "Beck and I are sitting in his car listening to the new Glassjaw EP that we've just completed. Shit SLAMS." On previous notes he stated that fans may expect new music verry soon.
To wrap things up, here's the video done for the second single from Worship And Tribute.

PS: Palumbo is rumoured to be a big Bad Brains fan.
