Halloween is a time for costumes, spooky things, candy, and probably a dentist's wallet's favorite holiday. The first official holiday of the holiday season is not typically associated with album releases, but what better day for a bunch of ghouls to release a split EP. True Ghouls and Sea Ghouls have joined together for the Some Ghouls EP and this 4-track treat is a groovy addition to your Halloween parties.

 

The first and last track of the EP, entitled "Muscles and Bugs", (the latter a Remix by IYEARA) from True Ghouls is an oddly relevant track. A bit creepy with muscles and bugs being in places you definitely would not want them to be. True Ghouls is Lauren Andino, Derek Mabra and Wesley Thatcher. Friends playing respectively in their own shoegaze and darkwave bands in Brooklyn, circa 2010 they decided to combine forces in revisiting their teenage punk rock skateboarding roots to create True Ghouls. Now reunited in Los Angeles they are releasing a new witches cauldron concoction of skuzzy sludge rock to move your skeleton bones to in the track “Muscles And Bugs”. The other two tracks on the EP are from Sea Ghouls and they're not as creepy or relevant but they're still a great addition to any playlist you'll be listening to on the night of haunts. Sea Ghouls formed in South Gate, CA in the spring of 2013. The group has been driven by a collective commitment to short memorable songs and raw production values. “We feel this is a direct reflection of our influences, a few of which include the Gun Club, Rolling Stones, Violent Femmes, Hank Williams, Lee Hazlewood, the Velvet Underground, and the Stooges,” says Sea Ghouls frontman Max Fields. “The songs ‘Warren’ and ‘Sunday Afternoon’ were chosen for this release because they are the best representation of what we try to do as an ensemble.” Los Angeles-based X-Ray Record Label specialists, Blank City Records, will release its latest EP, “Some Ghouls,” featuring local Los Angeles “Rock’N’Roll Ghouls” True Ghouls and Sea Ghouls as a very limited edition split release pressing on used medical X-Rays, Ghoulish Green Flexi & Digital on Halloween October 31st 2017. Pre-order the digital version of the record now for only $1.99 at iTunes: http://apple.co/2zmckS7. The first 13 copies of the X-Ray edition of the release will come with a limited edition deluxe “13 of 13” Halloween treat bags of candy and Halloween goodies and special green ink artwork. The physical release also comes with a dropcard featuring the full digital release of the EP that includes a remix of True Ghouls’ “Muscles And Bugs” by IYEARA, a new UK electronic three-piece formed by The Duke Spirit guitarist Toby Butler, producer Malcolm Carson, and singer Paul O'Keefe.
