Leeds-based outfit, We Have Ghosts, is back with vengeance. Their latest single, “Red Wall Colliers,” drops on November 8, 2024, and trust us, it’s gonna shake things up. This isn’t just another tune to headbang to (though you definitely will). No, these guys are taking aim at the media circus and all the hogwash propaganda we’re fed daily. Frontman Benjamin Mace-Crossley isn’t just a killer guitarist and vocalist – he’s the brains behind the lyrics too. And boy, does he have something to say about how the news twists everything up.
Recorded at Moorcroft Studios in Cleakheaton, West Yorkshire, “Red Wall Colliers” is raw, it’s real, and it’s gonna get under your skin. Following the success of their previous single, “Amygdala Algorithm,” this new sound is aggressive, in-your-face, and impossible to ignore. Mace-Crossley’s voice cuts through like a knife, delivering a message that’ll echo with anyone who’s ever yelled at their TV during the evening news. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to question everything you hear and see in the media.
The production, helmed by Tom Fox at Moorcroft, nails the band’s vibe with a mix of raw power and crystal-clear sound. Every riff and beat hits you right in the gut, driving home the heavy themes We Have Ghosts is tackling. These guys aren’t joking – the aggressive tone matches perfectly with their no-BS approach to some pretty heavy topics.
“Red Wall Colliers” is evidence that the band’s not afraid to get political, with Mace-Crossley calling out the media’s spin on conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. It’s refreshing to hear a band that’s not just here to entertain but to make you think and maybe even piss you off a little.
We Have Ghosts is about to shake things up with their first EP, set to hit the airwaves early next year. If you’re wondering what these newcomers are all about, their latest track “Red Wall Colliers” gives us a killer sneak peek. These guys aren’t just about sick riffs and hooks – they’re bringing some serious social commentary to the table too. It’s like they’ve taken the best parts of classic rock and mixed in a healthy dose of modern-day issues. Trust us, it works.
