REVIEW: "(HG) take you places other bands can only dream of..."
A review from earlier this year about our latest EP 'Talk For England':
"It’s a good time to be a music fan.
There are still some cracking bands out there, and they’re making some fabulous music. One such band is York-based Hungry Ghosts, whose third EP 'Talk For England' is now available in full via their MySpace page.
Why should you be interested?
Well, firstly the band have been around since 2007 and played support slots with the likes of Supergrass, The Futureheads and Shed Seven - not to mention the main stage at the Big In Falkirk Festival and the BBC Introducing Stage at both Reading and Leeds Festival - these lads know their way around the block. If that’s not enough for you, then the fact that they prove themselves adept with both faster tracks like the blistering opener 'Archaeology', for example, and the ska-tinged punk of second track 'Doctor’s Orders' followed by the lighters-in-air slow-burnering tunes like the soulful 'If I Said' and the bittersweet 'Edgeways'. These tracks should be enough to melt even the most icy of souls.
In the space of five short songs they give us sweeping guitars and soaring vocals that grip you by the heartstrings and take you to places other bands can only dream of. Think of a jam session between the Stereophonics and Bloc Party, or maybe between The Cure and Feeder - then, you’d be half way there - but there’s more to these Ghosts than their influences, oh yes, much, much more than that. Like we said, it’s a good time to be a music fan."

Studio, gigs and the more!
So last weekend we were in London recording our next batch of singles, and are in the process of putting the finishing touches to them off ready for release in early 2011. We have no dates as yet, but hopefully we won't leave you waiting too long. We also did a gig in Hoxton's 'Underbelly' on Tuesday which felt like we only played for about 5 mins! But I think we were just so thrilled to be out of the studio for a while!
This Friday we are back in York at Fibbers, supporting Fenech Soler (off of 'Stop and Stare' and 'Lies' fame). Come check us out in the 'new' Fibbers since Tokyo Industries have taken the place over.
It is also my birthday weekend so come help me prop up the bar with a few Jagerbombs and tequilas! :)
