Here’s what some people are saying about Ghosts in the Valley…
“pop-drizzled hardcore from Pennsylvania”
-Baltimore City Paper
“Ghosts clearly have a soft spot for East Coast hardcore-punk—but they’ve tempered those sonics with a healthy dose of power-pop to wind up with a bright, catchy sound that doesn’t sacrifice volume or potency. “
-M.A.G., Philadelphia Weekly
“If you enjoy the outbursts of indie/garage band rock, Ghosts in the Valley may satisfy your musical indulgences. This is definitely some hipster-friendly unfiltered alternative. Their music will sober you up from the sounds like Modest Mouse, and Dinosaur Jr. –go ahead, listen. – “
-Sophia Varoumas, Origivation Magazine
“A three piece Philadelphia band fueled by Fugazi-esque bass lines, Dinosaur Jr. style vocals and a lack of attention span over three minutes. The result is a ‘reckless fun’ in rock music somewhat lost since the likes of the Replacements. “
-Stellastarr*, Music Emissions Celebrity Recommendations
“Heading straight from Bucks County comes Ghosts in the Valley; a band easily labeled as pop punk in a sea of pop punks, yet they offer so much more. They have a raw older hardcore punk meets late 80’s alternative rock sound, like something you would hear on an SST sampler alongside Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, fIREHOSE, Hüsker Dü and Minutemen. Musically, as well as technically, they have a sound in common with those SST and later Dischord bands.”
-Dave Radwill, Philly Rock Blog (read the full review)
“Ghosts in the Valley are a three piece band from Philly that play a vintage brand of 80s punk you don’t hear much these days. They admit that DC hardcore punk bands like Fugazi are a huge influence on them, and that’s definitely evident in their album “Subtle as a Brick”. They also have a few strands of early indie rock and college rock, like Mission of Burma and Dinosaur Jr, in their DNA.”
