Give Up The Ghost formed in Los Angeles in 2017 around vocalist and guitarist Andy Cizek and guitarist Alex Wilson. Their debut EP 'The Other Side' came out in 2018. The band's first full-length album, 'Since Always,' arrived in 2020 with its title track becoming a standout.
Cizek handles vocals and guitar while writing most of the lyrics. The music draws from post-hardcore and alternative rock, with songs like 'Dead and gone' and 'Aeiou' showing their range. They built a following through steady local shows before the album release.
Their sound mixes aggressive guitar work with melodic vocals, avoiding straightforward genre formulas. The EP and album established their approach without much industry fanfare at first. They've kept a relatively low profile since the album came out.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
