It’s the moment the world has been waiting for: the return of everyone’s favorite musclebound punk/metal romantic odd couple, Henry and Glenn. Over the course of three short stories, our metaldude heroes love, fight, hang out at the spa with Lars and James, squabble about property values with friendly satanist neighbors Hall and Oates, and work out their differences in therapy. It’s hardcore. It’s hilarious. It’s a true testament to the power of love to overcome even the biggest, manliest egos of our time.

Igloo Tornado is an art fraternity founded in 2004 by Tom Neely, Scot Nobles, Gin Stevens and Levon Jihanian. The idea for Henry & Glenn Forever fell out of their beer-soaked brains one night at a bar and nothing has been the same since. They’ve done a lot of other stuff that nobody cares about, and have even been called “the best people in Los Angeles.”
