Description
On their Facebook page, Ghost Idols list their genre as "shut up." This, of course, is easier (and more fun) than saying that the L.A.-based band occupies a nebulous space between metal, post-hardcore, shoegaze, space rock, etc., etc., whatever. It doesn't really matter, which is why saying shut up is easier. The band's got a sound unusual for the heavier end of the spectrum, with plenty of distortion but nimble instrumentation and clear melodies, taking influence from everything from Helmet to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Their debut EP is up for free on their Bandcamp, so fans can feel free to make out their own genre Venn diagram. (Stephen Layton)
