Editor's note

Racing Glaciers, San Diego's steady indie rock band

A guitar-driven group from the early 2000s that built its sound on melodic, earnest songs.

If you want to hear them at their most representative, put on 'Little River' or 'Carry It On.' That's the sound they built their name on.

They came up playing shows with Dashboard Confessional and Jimmy Eat World, which tells you where they fit. Songs like 'Little River' and 'Carry It On' have that straightforward, melodic indie rock feel that defined a certain corner of the 2000s. They never made a big fuss about reinvention, just kept writing songs like 'Seem Like a Good Time' and 'Morning' that stuck to their lane.

They formed in San Diego in the early 2000s with Josh Smith on vocals and guitar. Their debut album 'The Sound' came out in 2006, featuring 'Carry It On' as a signature track. They kept releasing songs through the years, like 'Moths' and 'Patient Man,' staying in that same indie rock vein.
