Balsa Gliders

Have you heard the one about the banker, the lawyer, and the Episcopal priest in an indie rock band? It's no joke. Channeling the melodic motion of The Smiths and acoustic dust of Uncle Tupelo, North Carolina’s Balsa Gliders are cinching their claim to be the next Guided By Voices—provided they can juggle the demands of their daily lives. So far, their chosen professions haven’t suffered. And the music keeps getting better.
