<… Read Full Bio ↴A.M. Glory has to get the award for most determined band in the world.
Surviving rip-off managers, grueling tours, and even a severed finger, the band has developed a name as one of the hardest working bands in Canada, with a high-energy live show that has found them touring with some of the biggest acts in the country, kept them working steadily for 5 years, and put them in a perfect position to break out as a major international band.
Formed in 2004 in Winnipeg under the name Accepting Silence, the band members Kyle Meyer (guitar/lead.vocal), brother Jesse Meyer (bass/vocal) and drummer Jay Mymryk played their first show only three weeks after their first jam – in Minnesota. After the gig, their place to stay and their payment were nowhere to be found, and hours later they found themselves lost, and slept in an abandoned cabin in the woods.
Instead of being discouraged, they went on to work harder and released a debut EP “Soma” which sold almost 2000 units, an impressive debut for a new band in Canada. They went on to tour extensively in 2005, two cross-Canada tours and two Western Canadian tours, sharing the stage with a number of major Canadian acts.
In 2007 they scored a major coup by recording their next EP “Under This Sky” with legendary punk rock producer Jason Livermore in his studio in Fort Collins, Colorado. Livermore is responsible for the success of bands such as Rise Against, The Ataris and Comeback Kid.
They got off to a bad start with Livermore, however. Upon arriving at the studio they discovered that their then-manager had stolen all the money meant to go to the studio as a deposit ($8,000 USD). As Jay says “That's just awkward.” No kidding. Luckily Livermore liked working with the band so much he let them work out other arrangements.
Around this time they attracted the attention of Glen Willows of BCM management, who has 4 major label signings to his credit, and was so blown away with their new songs Dance All Night and R.O.C.K. that he immediately signed them to a management deal and started up a massive campaign to shop them to labels in the U.S. and Canada. “Glen just instantly got what we were doing” says Jesse.
With things in full gear, fate struck again and Kyle lost half of the ring finger on his right hand in a run-in with a power saw (note to guitar players: don’t use power saws). But it only slowed him down temporarily – and with determination and lots of practice he’s now back at full shredding capability.
From weathering these kinds of storms to playing grueling tours like the one that saw them doing 100 shows in 90 days, this is a band that’s built to last and isn’t going away.
As Kyle says “while other bands work on their hair, we work on our songs.”

The Fight
A.M. Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't let you break me anymore
Will you ever change?
You've got me on the hook begging for attention
Let me hang
Is this even worth it anymore
Or is this just a game for you to play?
Do you even want me to stay?
I hate the way you treat me
But I love you could
Take a step
In the right direction
Or maybe I'm going 6 feet below
Maybe I missed my opportunity
Or maybe it's just farther along
The lyrics to A.M. Glory's song The Fight deal with the familiar theme of a toxic relationship. The singer has been hurt before and is adamant about not letting the other person break them any further. The singer seems to be grappling with the idea of staying or leaving, unsure if the relationship is even worth it anymore. The other person in the relationship has them on the hook, begging for attention, which could suggest the imbalance of power in the relationship. The singer hates the way they are being treated but is conflicted because they still love the other person. The final lines suggest a sense of uncertainty about the future, questioning if they missed their opportunity or if it's still to come.
The lyrics are relatable and engaging because many people have found themselves in this type of situation before. The emotional tug-of-war in the lyrics invites the listener to question their own experiences and feelings about relationships. The repetition of "Is this even worth it anymore?" hammers in the idea of doubt and indecision, while the final lines add an air of intrigue and uncertainty.

Tonight it's very clear
As we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone
CHORUS
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone
CHORUS
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of
We'll live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away
CHORUS
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
We'll live forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
We did it all for love
