Time to shine the spotlight on Rearview Ghost for some killer rock n roll!

March 17, 2014

It is all about the music these days and to celebrate these women in rock! I am so excited to tell you about another great female fronted rock band. Check out Rearview Ghost. Rearview Ghost are from Huntsville, Alabama and they are ready to ROCK.  You are treated to powerful guitars, blazing riffs, gritty vocals, sexy basslines, and catchy choruses. You will be hooked.
