New Track: The Scarlet Letter – Love Ghost
Teenage alt rock band LOVE GHOST makes a second return with their brand new single 'The Scarlet Letter.'
Their lengthy piece speaks out on behalf of Young Americans who feel labeled or experienced any form of discrimination, accompanied by a combination of the lack-back guitar plucks, drumming and emotive violin.
Since their last appearance with single 'Friday Afternoon' back in October, the quartet have been named Music Connection's Hot 100 Unsigned Bands for 2017 and their performance of 'Forgive Me' on Balcony TV is currently the number one voted video of all-time.
They've been the opening act for such high-profile bands as Smash Mouth, The Young Dubliners, Buckcherry, Berlin, Ozomatli and The Tubes. Now the guys have recently finished their first album which is geared up for release this spring.
Iron out your Monday and check out 'The Scarlet Letter.'

Song of the Day: Friday Afternoon – Love Ghost
Managed to find another dish of the day – that's twice in one week, you lucky people! This time it's from Los Angeles-based alternative/cinematic rockers LOVE GHOST.
Inspired by the 90's grunge subculture, the five-piece band pays tribute to the most influential genre of alternative rock, while creating a unique and modern sound. Having grown up together, they're able to poignantly express both the hardships and joys of suburban teenage culture within their music.
The band was formed by 15-year-old frontman Finn Bell, who demonstrates maturity beyond his years with his soulful lyrics and arrangements. Despite the band all being teenagers, their raw musical skill creates a nostalgic triumph of distorted guitar melodies, heavy drums and emotionally stimulated lyrics. LOVE GHOST's musical composition is inspired by a mix of old universal horror films meshed with iconic grunge artists such as Nirvana and Alice in Chains.
Smashing Pumpkins inspired Friday Afternoon aims to reflect the importance of standing up for oneself especially during a time of hardship in teenage years. Written in the Spring of 2015, Bell reflects upon his own experiences through creation, and actively urges his audience to do the same.
Lead vocalist and lyricist, 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.'
Despite only being together for a little over a year, the band has seen tremendous success, opening for such artists as The Tubes, Berlin, Ozomatli and Buckcherry. LOVE GHOST has also played several high-profile festivals including Make Music Pasadena and Echo Park Rising.
