Editor's review
If you've noticed the shortage of mascara at Long Beach-area makeup counters, here are your culprits. Playing the black-clad alter egos to the region's surfeit of stoked pop-punk squads, Ghost keep what they should (tight hooks, charging drums) but add metal riffs and a pile of alienation.
Biography
Ghost - (gost) - noun
1. The spirit of a dead person, especially one believed to appear in bodily likeness to living persons or to haunt former habitats.
2. The center of spiritual life; the soul.
Hailing from the suburbs of Long Beach, CA comes Epitaph's newest signing, I Am Ghost. This ensemble of young, extremely talented musicians with a fetish for vampire movies, Halloween toys and Stephen King novels have adopted the darker side of contemporary culture as the dictum and basis for their music. The result is one of the most visually engaging, fun and original new bands to burst upon the scene in quite some time.
Featuring a finely woven web of sinister guitars blaring intense rock and hardcore rhythms, atop spitfire drumming and the intensely emotional resonance of a classically trained violinists and pianist, I Am Ghost have truly formed a sound and style that can only be called one thing: unique!
Consisting of Steve Juliano on vocals, Kerith Marcantonio on piano, violin & vocals, Brian Thomas on bass, Gabe Iraheta on one guitar, Timoteo Rosales on the other guitar and now Ryan on drums, I Am Ghost are now ready to bring their special brand of darkly-melodic-angst-ridden music to the masses.
