EventGuerrilla Ghost is a Milwaukee-based hip-hop duo brought together by their love for rap as well as more aggressive sounds (both come from having played in metal and hardcore bands), On Black Friday, the band will prepare to release their debut album, Perpetually Sad Motion Machine.
Eclectic. Aggressive. Prolific. These are a few of the words that have been continuously used to describe Milwaukee’s Guerrilla Ghost. Having been active since 2017, the duo (which is composed of producer Tron Jovi and vocalist Bad Graphics Ghost) have amassed a catalog that rivals contemporaries with twice the tenure.
Now entering five years of existence, Guerrilla Ghost plans on celebrating this milestone achievement by offering their fourth full length, and second album this year, available on November 11th, 2022 via Triple Eye Industries, which is cryptically titled “Dying”. As with their previous efforts, the album showcases continued growth and unwavering talent from a group highly proficient in their craft.
“As long as we have the technology and the voice, we’ll ride this beast until the wheels fall off. We agree that we’ve accomplished practically everything we’ve set out to do, so at this point in our career we’re pretty much looking down on a sky that was once the limit.” – Bad Graphics Ghost, of Guerrilla Ghost
Devils Teeth came together as a lean but efficient three-piece in 2016, with Jon Hanusa on vocals and guitar, Eric Arsnow on vocals and bass, and Chuck Engel on drums. Dropping the apostrophe “just because”, the band quickly found themselves sharing the stage with notables like Dick Dale, The Blind Shake, Local H, The Toxenes and Left Lane Cruiser. After releasing some lo-fi rehearsal tracks, the band set to work on their debut in the summer of 2017 — aiming to be more than a traditional garage rock throwback. Channeling inspiration from Brucesploitation and Herschall Gordon Lewis films as well as surf and psychedelic sounds from decades past, the band holed up in Arsnow’s sweaty basement to self-produce the album. Months later, the band emerged with ten songs that blend the reverb-drenched energy of surf rock with the dissonance of post-punk and the theatrics of Spaghetti Western soundtracks.
