The Ghost Of A Thousand – Bright Lights

• 27th Apr 2009

Frosty forceful guitars that trundle with such gusto that your head will roll off with enough momentum, it’ll end up in Chicago by the time you have listened to ‘Bright Lights’ three times, unless you live their of course then it’d be a lot sooner. With this onslaught, control of your mind is already achieved before the tirade Tom Lacey gives these Boisterous Brightonians gusto and gnarl, presenting an angst filled package tied together by the bustling bass snap of Gaz Spencer.

Old school rollicking rock spares no feelings and has an edge to it, with each member of the group contributing to this spasmodic track, as they use eerily slow percussion clattered interludes to contrast with the piercing moments. The Ghost Of A Thousand are giving impetus to the argument that England can match America in the post-hardcore stakes and, yeah Dillinger Escape Plan that includes you!
