I introduce to you, Kansas City’s shoegaze/Dangerpop (that’s the new term!) band RxGhost, that has released a music video for their single, “Candles”, off their new album, “Scaffolding.”

They’ve released their latest single, “The Attic”, which tackles topics like momentary existentialism with punk rock melodies and poetic lyrics, reminding me almost of Rise Against.

Moving up and taking their garage band out of the garage, they’ve signed to PNWK Records and are currently working on their first full-length album.

Sometimes you need that motivation in the background to remember that this is only a moment, and you have the strength to carry on.

It’s classic high-energy punk, fast guitars, but with deep-meaning philosophical lyrics that ask questions like: Is reality a byproduct of the human experience; or is the human experience the consequence of reality?

One of the singles on the album, “123”, also has a music video shot at Coney Island! The video was shot in a day, after having just finished a USA Northeast coast tour.

Taking their teenage rebellion and creating energetic songs with catchy lyrics, bringing me back to my own teen years of house party bands and head banging.

Ray is a renowned guitarist, having been playing in Paul McCartney’s band since 2002 and as a former guitarist and music director for Etta James. Even though he’s worked with such talented individuals he still appreciates being able to release solo works.

The track and EP was produced by Steve Ornest and co-produced by Jakob Armstrong. That’s right! The son of Green Day’s own Billie Joe Armstrong!

Mirror Mirror was inspired by a phase of self loathing in the wake of a bender. The song was a productive way of making sense of internal conflict. Chaotic thoughts that consume can still have a positive outcome.”

Guitarist and vocalist, Luis Cabezas, shared that the inspiration for the song struck him in a dream.

Debuting with "Nothing Is One Thing" from Miserable Neighbour Records, the album presents a refreshing blend of genres that leans towards a rock sound
