The Ghost Of A Thousand


So yeah, I'm trying to get back into this cos it's kinda fun. Not that anyone reads it anyway... Todays band are The Ghost Of A Thousand, from that place called Brighton. Their sound is dirty, and it rocks. They currently have one album, entitled This Is Where The Fight Begins, out in stores and another set to be released. One of THE bands to bring Britain to the forefront of hardcore punk, these guys pack a heavy punch. They've toured with bands the like of Cancer Bats, Alexisonfire, Gallows and the not-forgotten Johnny Truant. Myspace is here

Shoes And Socks Off

Toby used to sing in a band called Meet Me In St Louis, who have also graced the pages of this blog. After the collapse of the band, a hole was left in the underground music industry and many wondered where Toby Hayes would turn. Luckily he carried on singing and picked up a guitar along the way. This is simply acoustic music with absolutely wicked lyrics. He's the only man that can get away with the line "show me your scary face". He's currently released one album of recordings with just him and his guitar, but there is another in the pipeline with the same songs, but fully-fledged band recordings. He no longer has a myspace, fuck the boom he says. Find his own blog here.
