GLUE is the finest expression yet of the profound friendships that created German trio Daily Thompson. Here singer and guitarist Danny Zaremba, bassist Mercedes Lalakakis-Bee and drummer Thorsten ‘Babblz’ Stratmann finally find their place in grunge/alternative and indie rock.
It now feels like the band have got their sound together to where they always wanted it to be. Inspired by bands like Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Alice In Chains, and The Smashing Pumpkins, they created their vision of the nineties Seattle sound. Heavily influenced by the grunge scene, the songs on GLUE are propelled by massive, fuzzy, distorted guitars, melodic hooks, and the signature vocals from both sides. New single ‘BTK’ finds bassist Mercedes singing lead vocals for the first time. Clocking in at just over seven minutes, ‘BTK’ is a sprawling, cathartic epic that sees Mercedes drawing inspiration from female empowerment and strength.
“This song took time to take shape; it was a process that lasted over two years,” she explains. “It is also the first time the lyrics were chosen to capture the feeling of victimhood and the emotional journey from hope to fierceness. In the end, the victim longs for release. The song portrays an experience that no woman should ever have to endure, while at the same time celebrating the strength, resilience, and empowerment of women.”

GLUE also contains songs like ‘Chains’, ‘SIAM’ and ‘Here I Stand’ that pay tribute to the band’s classic grunge sound. The album’s loud, heavy indie/alt-rock DNA also connects it to the broader American alternative rock scene that informed Seattle — the same scene that brought feedback-drenched, distorted guitars back to indie rock years before grunge exploded.
The band recorded the album in January 2026 in Seattle/Port Orchard, USA, at APL Recording, once again with Tony Reed. Their last album, ‘Chuparosa’, was met with critical acclaim, which is why the band returned to Seattle to record GLUE with Reed as producer and guest musician.
The band’s seventh studio album showcases Daily Thompson at the peak of their powers – grungy, effervescent, as confident as they’ve ever been and more emotional than ever before. Don’t miss out when DAILY THOMPSON play a venue near you – people who witnessed one of the shows on their previous extensive tours, festival shows (such as FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL, DESERTFEST or German TV Show WDR Rockpalast) or while supporting bands like MONSTER MAGNET will agree.
