The Ghost Inside

We recently spoke to Jonathan Vigil of The Ghost Inside ahead of one of the biggest heavy tours Australia has to offer.

Assured and sonically diverse.

A double dose of the same old with a side of quality familiarity.

The Ghost Inside have become a household name in the hardcore and metalcore community of recent years, and that has come through releasing consistent albums and having a relentless tour schedule. Case in point: the band has been back to Australia about five times in as many years. The group's fourth album, ‘Dear Youth’ is yet another solid offering. We recently caught up with vocalist Jonathan Vigil over Skype, just as the band wrapped up a sold out show supporting Asking Alexandria in London.

“I felt like this was all I was going to be good for, and it was really hard to break that cycle of thinking ‘I, as a human being, am limited’.”

“Sure, it’s frustrating that people didn’t see the band as ‘legitimate’ or whatever even though we’d been around and had paid our dues, but it helped our drive more than it frustrated us."

It's been almost one year since The Ghost Inside released third studio album 'Get What You Give', their debut on Epitaph Records. In the country soon to headline the upcoming Destroy Music national tour, Killyourstereo.com chats to frontman Jonathan Vigil to discuss Australia, life on the road and why the band are now associated with the LA Kings.

The Ghost Inside have cemented themselves as juggernauts of the metalcore genre. Their Epitaph debut, ‘Get What You Give’, pushes their sound into dynamic new territory, balancing out the overdose of aggression with newfound melodic sensibilities. The California five-piece will give their Australian fans a first-hand experience of their new material this September, touring alongside The Amity Affliction and Architects. Vocalist Jonathan Vigil sat down with Kill Your Stereo to talk about the band.
