Give Up The Ghost signed to Burning Heart records

posted by: Lou.BtB on 30 August 2003

Give Up The Ghost’s debut for Burning Heart Records will be their brand new album “We’re Down Till We’re Underground” that is scheduled for release (for Europe only) on Burning Heart Records october 2003. .
Boston hardcore thrashers Give Up the Ghost (Tim, guitar; Wes, vocals; Brian, guitar; Josh, bass; and Alex, drums) originally formed in the fall of 1999 as American Nightmare. A self-titled EP followed in 2000. The same year, the band signed with Equal Vision (a subsidiary of Caroline), issuing their debut full-length release, Background Music, in June of 2001 — overseen by renowned hardcore producer Dean Baltulonis. T. In 2003, following a trademark dispute with a Philadelphia group of the same name, American Nightmare, the Boston band changed its name briefly to American Nothing before settling on the new name Give Up the Ghost in early 2003.

Following the name change, the recordings of new album “We’re Down Till We’re Underground” and a rapdily growing following, Burning Heart Records (home to other noise/HC acts as Refused, Raised Fist, Breach, Nine etc) are happy to welcome this promising band to our roster. We’re definitely looking forward to working with them and besides the new album (licensed from Equal Vision Records), you can expect the re-release of their debut album “Background Music” later on this autumn.

Make sure you don't miss them on their forthcoming European tour in December. The Dutch label Reflections Records will release the CD-single "Love American" (download MP3) taken from their new album coinciding with this tour.
