biographical info

Ghosts features former members of the Truth About Angels and Three Inches of Blood... Formed as an outlet for the members to explore various aesthetic themes, Ghosts has evolved into a challenging and dark dialogue between angular no-wave strivings and traditional song-writing formats that evokes the confusion of a generation raised knee-deep in hegemonic pop culture. Members live in Victoria, British Columbia - an island city that's produced a consistent stream of exploratory and diverse musical acts... Is it the large portion of disaffected, cultured children of civil servants that accounts for this, or the isolation of being on an island? With song structures that bring to mind such references points as Drive Like Jehu, Depeche Mode, Television, early Rough Trade Records groups such as the Young Marble Giants, and Suicide, Ghosts are interpreting post-hardcore for the twenty-first century.
