The Ghost

It seems as though life and music can often be over saturated with superficiality, reservations, blandness and an overall lack of substance. Pop-culture often centers itself solely on trends, names, and fashion. It is now time that with the highest expectations The Ghost make a conscious effort to incorporate sincerity, honesty, originality and true passion in their music and their everyday lives.

In March of 2001, out of the ashes of local and national touring acts, a new voice in music arose. Based around a group of tightly knit friends in Berkeley and Oakland, California, "The Ghost" was formed. The band soon hooked up with Some Records out of New York City. Fueled by a shared dedication to honesty and hard work, a partnership was born. In August of 2001, during the midst of a three-month national tour which saw them perform with Rival Schools, Sense Field, Thursday, The Lawrence Arms and others, The Ghost recorded its debut album, This Is A Hospital, with famed producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Big Black, The Pixies) at the helm.

Through constant touring and a mutual agreement to view music as the sounds of everyday life, The Ghost is fast becoming a national musical workhorse. The band’s music is simply the stuff of friendship, sincerity, and dedication. It is the sound of true poetry, an honest disclosure with all of the positive and negative attributes of the band member’s lives. The music is fearless and brutally real. Be forewarned... The Ghost is coming.
