“What’s new is old, and what’s old is new again.” A quote from 17th century author Johnathan Swift—while used and paraphrased abundantly, especially in today’s age of retro-fitting and nostalgia—could not fit better for Syracuse-based straight edge hardcore act GhostxShip. A stalwart of the late-2000s east coast hardcore scene, the band are back after a decade-long hiatus with some of their most aggressive and energetic music to date, combining a hard-swinging, heavy-hitting hardcore mentality with the overwhelming energy and die-hard mentality of an undying punk ethos, GhostxShip demonstrate with crushing power and pinpoint precision that what’s old is most certainly new again.
