Get your fix of 90’s grunge-infused alt rock with Love Ghost!

December 14, 2016

  If you are craving new music, I have the perfect fix for you of 90’s grunge-infused alt/rock with Love Ghost. The Los Angeles band was formed 15-year-old frontman Finn Bell and the band features teenagers who are well beyond their years with their music. They bring out our love of 90’s grunge but blended with alt rock and a modern sound. Finn who is the lead vocalist and lyricist highlights his songwriting by taking you on an emotional journey. He describes his process as a continuous stream of consciousness, drawn from his emotional response. Bell expresses ‘It’s a shame that people tend to shy away from anything that feels too personal, because those types of things let you know who you really are.’ They have just released a cinematic video for their track, Forgive Me. Check out the video here: Their EP was produced by Mark Renk (P.O.D.). We will see if we can bring you an interview with this fast rising band soon.

We wanted to write a simple hard rock song that’s full of energy and a which was slight departure from our more dramatic/electronic tracks. We shot the video with Roger (who directed ‘The Contract’ video) at this really unique and historic location down South, at these huge acoustic sound mirrors – a long since defunct military technology. We chose this location for as the setting visually represents how ideas that once stood so tall can be soon left behind and forgotten. It was a long, cold and wet shoot, but [Read More]
