The Ghost of A Thousand 'Knees, Toes, Teeth'

• 5th Oct 2009

The Ghost of A Thousand are set to release their second single from this year’s critically acclaimed album ‘New Hopes, New Demonstrations’ on 9th November. Titled ‘Knees, Toes, Teeth’, vocalist Tom Lacey has the following to say about the track – “It’s just a shit storming rock'n'roll song. It’s a full on little number, big sweary chorus, big riffs, big solo, big old drums… it’s the tune that AC/DC would write if they grew up listening to Converge rather than Zeppelin!”

The strong rock’n’roll aesthetic of the song is brought to life visually with the video that accompanies the single. Lacey states “It’s a loving tribute to one of our favourite bands, The Hives, set in an abandoned mine no less, and features our good selves rocking it out whilst the rock'n'roll we unleash collapses the mine and the city above it, complete with special effects and even a little bit of acting from the band.”

Continuing their punishing tour schedule which has included performances at Reading and Leeds festivals as well as appearances at numerous heavyweight festivals in mainland Europe this summer, The Ghost of A Thousand will embark on the Eastpak Antidote Tour which traverses a significant chunk of Europe throughout October. The tour will be headed up by Alexisonfire and Anti-Flag but The Ghost of A Thousand will inevitably leave their mark, having already made a name for themselves with visceral and cathartic live shows which are, above all, a lot of fun to be a part of. Lacey is excited to say the least – “The Eastpak tour is quite simply the best bill to grace these and European shores for a long time – you've got everything there – straight-up punk fury, hardcore riffage, killer choruses, and a load of handsome dudes prancing about for your viewing and aural pleasure. All in all, a tour to moisten the brow and underpants of any rock fan!”
