truth on hold Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Really digging the Swedish Pop-Metal band "Ghost BC". They wear costumes and try to keep their identity strictly secret, however the speculation is the lead singer is Tobias Forge. I think he's kind of an indie-pop singer, and that's where the lighter voice and pop influence comes from. It's a nice contrast. "If You Have Ghosts" is the catchy tune that hooked me, and subsequently I'm getting deeper into their library. http://youtu.be/OD1mbSZydGY Be interested what other relatively new bands people like, as I'm pretty much stuck in the 90's and my perception of popular stuff is too tainted by the likes of Bieber, Swift, Miley, etc. to bother trying to sort thru it.

Check it out. http://youtu.be/eUkSTnUK_T0 That's great. Guitar style/sound actually reminds me a bit of John Mayer (probably blasphemy to say that in 'this' thread but Mayer is actually a great guitar player). Vocally, this guy, is much different though. I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 A little boring, their gear does not match their sound. Thats whats cool about them. I like they add some darkness to pop songs. Otherwise they'd just be another group of 20-something looking dudes in jeans and t-shirts. Their cover of an ABBA song (fan video w/out them) demonstrates my point about darkness in pop songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 That's great. Guitar style/sound actually reminds me a bit of John Mayer (probably blasphemy to say that in 'this' thread but Mayer is actually a great guitar player). Vocally, this guy, is much different though. I really like it. On the Howard Stern birthday bash he showed up to accompany Adam Levine. Turns out who I thought was playing - Mayer - was not. Adam Levine is a very talented guitar player, as well. Thats whats cool about them. I like they add some darkness to pop songs. Otherwise they'd just be another group of 20-something looking dudes in jeans and t-shirts. Their cover of an ABBA song (fan video w/out them) demonstrates my point about darkness in pop songs I liked that one much better, but enjoyd both.
