Kids in Glass Houses are a five-piece rock band from the surrounding valleys of Cardiff, the capital of Wales. Boasting influences ranging from the classic pop of The Police, Michael Jackson, Prince, and The Beach Boys to the British rock of Stereophonics, Blur and Pulp to the hardcore/punk stylings of Glassjaw, Refused and The Movielife.

The quintet had a series of support slots during late 2006 and early 2007, playing alongside Lostprophets, Cute Is What We Aim For, 30 Seconds to Mars, Hundred Reasons, Manic Street Preachers and The Goo Goo Dolls. In the bands early stages, they also shared the stage with the likes of Funeral for a Friend and The Used on the Taste of Chaos 2005 UK tour in Cardiff. They also supported Funeral for a Friend in their 2007 December tour. They have also supported Paramore and New Found Glory on the 2008 RIOT Tour - during which, guitarist Iain Mahanty, has been known to join New Found Glory onstage to perform their song, Hit or Miss.

In 2007, the band appeared at Give It A Name Festival, The Full Ponty Festival, Download Festival, Hyde Park Calling, Summer Breeze Festival, Collision Course Festival and the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

During their time as an unsigned band, the band garnered an rare and unprecedented amount of press and support from the likes of Kerrang, NME, Big Cheese, Rocksound, Tuned and Total Guitar magazines, as well as BBC Radio 1 and XFM.

In August 2007, the band were nominated for Best British Newcomer at the Kerrang Awards, where the group were beaten to the award by Gallows. During the run up to the awards, the band played a special show for Kerrang, titled The Day Of Rock, inside Virgin Megastores on Oxford Street, London, alongside Enter Shikari, Fightstar, The Answer and Turisas.

During October 2007, the band completed a 16 date headline tour of the UK supported by London's Tonight Is Goodbye and friends of the bands rotating on the tour - Saidmike and The New 1920. Following that they supported fellow Welshmen, Funeral For A Friend on their December 2007 UK tour.

Between the October and December tours, the band recorded their debut album at Long Wave Studios with Romesh Dodangoda, who also produced the band's previous EP.

They signed to Roadrunner records on the 8th of December 2007, shortly before going on stage to support Funeral For A Friend.

The band will release "Easy Tiger" as their next single. They recently completed the video, which has received considerable rotation on music channels, as well as entered the Kerrang! Top 10 Overdrive upon the first week of its release.
