Alice seems to be a popular choice when it comes to naming bands. There’s Alice in Chains, Alice Cooper, and Alice Glass – who couldn’t be more different than the first two we just named. Alice Glass, in contrast to the other two Alices we mentioned, is vulnerable, ethereal, and soft. That’s not to say that her music or voice is weak – it’s quite the opposite. While Alice in Chains and Alice Cooper is the music you play when you want to F*ck stuff up, Alice Glass makes you feel like you can put it all back together.

Through the Looking Glass

Alice Glass didn’t start out as a solo artist – nor was she born “Alice Glass,” either. The artists’ real name is Margaret Osborn, and she hails from the great white north. She played guitar growing up and even had a band in her teens, which she called Fetus Fatale.

Her next project, which you likely know her from, was Crystal Castles. It was a duo between her and Ethan Kath that became popular around 2006. The two signed to Merok Records and put out three albums together, Crystal Castles I, II, and III. Each did well, but by 2014, Margaret (Alice) was ready to move on to other things.

A Solo Career

And by other things, we mean her solo career. She signed as an individual artist to Loma Vista in 2014, and put out a single called “Stillbirth.” Always the humanitarian, she donated parts of the profits from that single to RAINN. This just cemented her fans’ love for her even more. Another thing her fans love her for is her openness about the things she’s been through personally. She stands up for herself, which inspires her fans to do the same.
