Leave The Ghosts Behind

Biography

Leave The Ghosts Behind emerges from the heart of Bern, Switzerland, with a sound that blends the raw energy of hardcore punk with the melodic sensibilities of modern post-hardcore. Fronted by vocalist and guitarist 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.

As they prepare to release their second EP this summer, Leave The Ghosts Behind delve into personal experiences, inspired by navigating toxic work environments. The songs will shed light on the challenges faced where hard work goes unrecognized and dedication is exploited for corporate gain. The tracks offer a raw portrayal of the emotional toll exacted by carrying excessive workloads and feeling undervalued, seeking to provide a voice for those who have endured similar hardships and spark conversations about addressing toxic workplace cultures.

Looking ahead, Leave The Ghosts Behind remains steadfast in their commitment to using music as a vehicle for change and healing. With plans for a third EP later in the year, exploring themes of mental health and depression, the band continues to evolve and grow, both personally and musically.

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!
