Daryl Palumbo is an American musician, (born February 10, 1979 in Long Island, New York), grew up in Bellmore, New York. He is the frontman of the bands Glassjaw, Head Automatica, and House of Blow. As a youth he was a member of the Long Island Straight Edge band XbustedX. In 1993 he met Justin Beck, who would become his good friend and guitarist and formed Glassjaw shortly after.

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 Glassjaw's cover of the Youth of Today song, "Modern Love Story"), 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 Gutter Phenomenon), Finch (on the tracks "Project Mayhem" and "Grey Matter" from What it is to Burn as well as being the vocal coach of Nate Barcalow for the album), Cage Kennylz (on the track "Shoot Frank" from Hell's Winter) 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. This release was significant as it showed a new, positive attitude towards the label from Palumbo. Previously, he and Justin Beck had voiced negative statements regarding the label relating to their treatment by Roadrunner and subsequent move to Warner Bros..

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.

In 2004, Palumbo made a brief appearance in the Lostprophets music video for their track "Last Summer", alongside Head Automatica bassist Jarvis Holden.
