Daryl Palumbo, (born February 10, 1979 in Long Island, New York), grew up in Bellmore, New York, is the lead singer for alternative post-hardcore band Glassjaw, electronic dance-rock band Head Automatica and a new project announced in January of 2006 entitled House of Blow, which also features Sean Martin of Hatebreed. As a youth he was a member of the Long Island Straight Edge band XbustedX.
Palumbo suffers from Crohn's disease, which has acted as inspiration for much of his musical output, most notably in the lyrical content of Glassjaw's major label debut Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence. His affliction has affected his bands' ability to tour, including the cancellation of a tour with The Used.
Palumbo has worked with many different artists including Alien Ant Farm (on the track, Gene Machine), The Movielife (on the track, Another Friend), Ray Cappo (on the Glassjaw track, Modern Lovestory), The Rondo Brothers (on the tracks, Hey Stewardess,Whispering Reef, and Take Me Back), Silent Majority (on the track Popular Opinion), Every Time I Die (on the track Champing at the Bit from the Gutter Phenomenon album), Finch (on the tracks Project Mayhem and Grey Matter from the What it is to Burn album as well as being the vocal coach of the frontman for the album), Cage Kennylz (on the track Shoot Frank from the Hell's Winter album) and Dan the Automator's Handsome Boy Modelling School. In interviews Palumbo has expressed an interest to work with British singer/songwriter and producer Nick Lowe.
In October 2005, Palumbo appeared as a guest vocalist on the track, No Way Out on the album Roadrunner United: The All Star Sessions. The album was a collaboration between past and current bands signed to Roadrunner Records.
Recently, Palumbo provided guest vocals on the track "Procession Commence" on the recently released 2006 album Sundowning by the prolific Long Island hardcore punk band This Is Hell. He also provided backing vocals on their previous EP.
