"With refreshingly intelligent guitar work evoking both Television and Maps and Atlases, the four tracks on Satellite People are perhaps best surmised in the title track, a tidy hybrid of Mission of Burma circa Signals, Calls and Marches EP, Pop Group and early Captain Beefheart. An impressive snapshot of greater things to come" - AU Magazine www.iheartau.com

"Eclectic, sparse indie rock, which compares favorably to bands like Mission Of Burma and Husker Du" - RCRDLBL http://rcrdlbl.com/ (U.S.)

"Satellite People, the trio's debut EP, turns out to be one of the best releases to invade my eardrums since the dawning of 2012...post-rock instrumental brilliance. Exceptional EP" - GMANWORLD http://www.thegmanworld.com/

"Ballsy, bluesy ..Satellite People is the debut EP from post-punk trio Glimmermen, a genre-hopping new band composed entirely of homegrown underground rock veterans" - HOT PRESS

"Glimmermen are a different sort of band. In a sea of Spector-like indie landfill fodder they wear their honesty & integrity on their black sleeves with a sound that goes straight to the heart. Glimmermen know exactly the sound they want to make & that's something we want to hear" - Le Cool Magazine Dublin

"With Satellite People Glimmermen have found a spot that suits them to explore a range of rock songwriting, subtly arranged around heavy-end riffs and offbeat melodies. You can hear they're rockers but for Glimmermen it's a chance to burst into pop song" - Nay McArdle, THUMPED www.thumped.com
