Ghost of a Thousand have signed with Epitaph Records and will release the follow-up to debut album ‘This
Is Where The Fight Begins’ this summer.
‘New Hopes, New Demonstrations’ is out on June 1.
"I'm over the moon to be joining Epitaph,” states vocalist Tom Lacey, “it's a huge deal to be a part of a label that has shaped punk rock in such a massive way, and I feel even better about the fact that our new record has a great home. We're not resting on our laurels though. The proper hard work starts now.
We've been welcomed in by the staff like a new family member, so we can't let our folks down, we're going to do them proud.”
‘New Hopes, New Demonstrations’ was recorded in Stockholm’s Studio Grondahl in the winter of 2008 with Pelle Gunnefeldt [The Hives, Refused].
“NHND is still very heavy,” front-man Tom Lacey explains, “heavier than …Fight… in places, but its whole feel is a lot sadder, and its mood changes all the time. This album could have been a straight up sing-a-long catchy hardcore record, but it’s very much not and I think that will come as a shock to some people. I'd like to think that the perception of us as a band within a scene will be blown apart now, the new stuff doesn't to me feel like anything that other bands are doing right now.”
