We Have Ghosts have made their latest offering with the blistering single ‘Red Wall Colliers,’ delivering the fiery intensity of a socio-political punk anthem. This Leeds trio don’t pull any punches, delivering a neck snapping blend of garage rock grit and punk fury over a forceful rhythmic backbone.
The basslines are potent, the drums driving, and you’re locked into the groove from the first notes, daring you not to move. Benjamin Mace-Crossley’s ragged vocals have an in your face immediacy that perfectly captures the urgency and passion of the song’s message about media manipulation and propaganda. His lyrics are a serrated knife through the falsehoods with sharp clarity, and the band’s performance has a beautifully unhinged, utterly authentic, artifice free quality to it. The guitars snarl recklessly, channeling the renegade spirit of classic punk. However, the production quality is outstanding, with each instrument taking its place in the mix with clarity.
The refreshing thing about “Red Wall Colliers” is that We Have Ghosts tackle a deadly serious topic such as public misinformation, but they’re going to fight it with the universal language of sweat drenched, high energy rock ‘n’ roll. Every bashed chord and bellowed refrain you can feel the raw emotional intensity. It’s music that grabs you by the lapels and won’t let go until you’ve felt its righteous anger, in these increasingly jaded times, it’s inspiring to hear a band that still believes so fervently in music’s ability to provoke thought, start conversations and maybe even change minds. “Red Wall Colliers” doesn’t lecture, it rocks face first into the cultural zeitgeist with passion and conviction. This is the sound of a band finding their voice and making a hell of a strong impression.
