A Sequence Of Ghosts – A Sequence Of Ghosts
Unsigned (July 25, 2010)
RIYL: Here In Cycle, Harp And Lyre
RIYL: 3.5/5

Coming out of Kansas City is a brand new band, A Sequence of Ghosts. The band members started writing and practicing together in March of this year and recently released their self-titled EP at the end of July. They recorded the EP with Kevin Gates (Here I Come Falling, Harp & Lyre, The Ready Set) and are expected to tour the midwest, south, and east coast this summer and fall. This is great and all, but does how does the music sound?

“The Distance Between” starts with the screamer showing off his vocals. His screams definitely have power behind them and he knows how to use that power for the screams to sound excellent. While most of the vocals are screams, the band does use singing on the songs. Right when you hear the singing you can tell that this is him actually singing and not his voice being autotuned. This automatically makes him standout and it does help that his voice is pretty good. The singing highlight is found on the chorus of “Chasing Shadows”. The guitarists seem to not stray too far out of the box on this EP, so it should be interesting to see where they go and what they do with more time as a band.

A Sequence of Ghosts is a band full of potential and are on the cusp of making it big already as a band. The only downfall for the band may be how young the band is in comparison to some of the other unsigned bands around. Regardless, A Sequence of Ghosts has released a top notch EP and that should be enough to put them on the listener’s radar.
