Glass Beach (stylized as glass beach) are an American indie rock band from Los Angeles and are currently based in Seattle.[1] Their music has been described as "heavy indie rock", blending influences including punk rock, math rock, and mid-century jazz. They cite some of their musical influences as Jeff Rosenstock, They Might Be Giants, and The Brave Little Abacus.[2][3][4]

The band's formation and music is closely tied to internet communities, and according to The Washington Post has "developed a cultish online following".[5] In early 2020, the Los Angeles Times predicted that the band "likely won't be playing cozy venues like All Star Lanes for much longer."[6]
