Event details: I AM GHOST
Description
Website
After playing just four local shows, few would have predicted they would quickly sell 20,000 copies across the country through the power of the internet, and be the darlings of the Warped Tour and Alternative Press by the following summer. Now comes Lovers Requiem, a full-length debut so ambitious and assured that it seems the work of a much more established band. From the baroque Latin chorus that opens the CD, to the punishing guitar overdrive of first video/single Our Friend Lazarus Sleeps, Lovers Requiem will take fans of the EPs haunting melodicism to new symphonic heights. And fans of My Chemical Romance, HIM and AFI will discover a great new dark voice, the power and majesty that is I Am Ghost.
LOVEHATEHERO
Website
Any preconceptions you may have about this album will be well and truly demolished when 'Goodbye My Love' echoes from your speakers - Jesus, this band can shred! With metal riffs straight outta Maiden, Lovehatehero have the knack of mixing up some very contemporary styles with a more classical influence.- Punktastic.com album review
KARATE HIGHSCHOOL
Website
Much like their Californian state-mates HORSE The Band, Karate High School's "gimmick" of sorts lies in the fact that their music is influenced by classic video games. Apparently, the influence was so huge that the quintet decided to name their debut album Arcade Rock and use video-game like illustrations in the artwork for said disc. Also, the band uses customized keyboards and effects that give many of their songs the Nintendo-vibe that HORSE The Band has become known for. However, the comparison ends there as Karate High School focuses more on creating energetic pop choruses whereas the guys in HORSE tend to throw punishing breakdowns at their listeners.

More about these performers
I Am Ghost
The words “dark,” “macabre” and “beautiful” only begin to describe the unique music of I Am Ghost. By seamlessly integrating the raw energy of post-hardcore with contemporary punk rock and elements of classical strings and piano, I Am Ghost have developed a unique style that crosses genres, unites scenes and makes for a powerful overall experience. Lyrically, the band explores aspects of love, life, tragedy and triumph; the vocals range from incensed hardcore growls and screams to spine-tingling synchronous choruses that seamlessly encapsulate both beauty and sorrow.More about Reggies Rock Club
