Never mind that she’s pictured right there on the cover of their first album, or that her name adorns one of their signature songs in Kath’s revisionist history of Crystal Castles, she made no meaningful contributions. To many, she was the group, yet the band’s current press material doesn’t make so much as a single mention of her. While it may be true that Glass was never the driving force behind Crystal Castles’ sound, on stage she was their star attraction, the group’s spiritual link to the punk community and the wild card that made their shows such a frightening spectacle (she always appeared on the cusp of coming to blows with anybody within reach).
