Leave The Ghosts Behind emerges from the heart of Bern, Switzerland, with a sound that blends the raw energy of post-rock with the melodic sensibilities of modern post-hardcore. Fronted by vocalist Will, the band is completed by Finn on lead guitar, Julian on bass, and Kimmo on drums.
Drawing inspiration from bands like Being as an Ocean, A Day To Remember, Bring Me the Horizon, Sleeping with Sirens, Rise Against, and Billy Talent, Leave The Ghosts Behind infuses their music with a sense of urgency and authenticity. Their three debut songs dive deep into the theme of heartbreak, exploring the pain and turmoil that comes with love gone wrong. With stories drawn from the lives of the band members, each track invites listeners to connect on a deeply personal level.
In true DIY spirit, Leave The Ghosts Behind handles every aspect of their music creation process. All songs have been meticulously recorded, mixed, and mastered by Finn in their own band room, capturing the intensity of their live performances. Meanwhile, the artworks for their releases are crafted by Will, adding a visual dimension to their music. This approach not only allows the band to maintain creative control but also enables them to release more music.
Driven by a desire to connect with audiences and to make a meaningful impact, Leave The Ghosts Behind aims to reach as many listeners as possible, offering solace and solidarity through their music. As they navigate the ups and downs of life, their ultimate goal remains clear: help people push through difficult times with their music, just as other bands have helped them get through hard times. Of central importance is the message: You’re not alone in this!
