About Promise The Ghost
In 2001 the music scene in Birmingham, AL was.... tired, suffering much in the same way most of the music world seemed to, in the late 90s to 2001. Much of the music of that period was.... well, forgetable. In the fall of 2001, the Live music scene of Birmingham was grabbed hard and shaken awake with the emergence of Promise the Ghost. To the stage, Promise the Ghost brings a raw energy and passion the is unique and completely their own. Between the bands chemistry, ability and sincere passion for the music they play, they consistantly seem to ...well, the only word to really use is..they "INFECT" the crowds they perform for. It is not an uncommon occurance to suddenly find it hard to hear the band, due to the entire crowd singing along with ever word, ever pause, or ever raised inflection and drowning out the band at the same time (At least in the venues with smaller P.A.s). Within almost no time at all after the surfacing of Promise The Ghost, there was a resurgence in the music scene of Birmingham. People started coming out to see shows again. Energy creates energy, and Promise The Ghost was the catalyst in a major explosion that is still growing in a currently thriving and healthy music scene. ----JO23 News 12/1/06 "We are proud to announce that our good friend David Smith has joined the band to play guitar. We are now writing all new material to start a whole new chapter. This is very exciting for us, we couldn't be happier. The first show will be on New Year's Eve at Birmingham's Highnote followed by many more shows for 2007, as well as new recordings. So, everyone please keep in touch with us as we will be updating the site with new band pictures and other interesting things." Taken from the bands website "Promise the Ghost is a Rock experience. Made up of Five pals with a passion to rock. There are many genres of Rock music out there today, and you can probably classify PtG in a few of them, but where this band differs from many others is there drive to express themselves through great music. Promise the Ghost is not a TREND. It is a rock experience from Birmingham, Alabama, with Joel Owen on Vocals/Guitar, Jimmy Clark on Guitar/Vocals, Mikal Thompson on Drums, James Wahl on the Bass, and new addition Tyler Franklin on guitar. These are the five gentlemen that make up PRomise the Ghost. Seeking out to create their interpretation of Rock music as it is heard through their ears. Forming in the fall of 2001 PtG has since been playing show after show throughout the southeast U.S. Writing an ongoing library of music and recording demos in hope that someone will pick them up and set them free. Sharing the stage with bands such as: The Used, Every Time I Die,From Autumn to Ashes, The Letters Organize, STUN, From First to Last, Haste, Breaking Benjamin, and many more. Receiving air play from local radio stations Z100.5 and 107.7 the X and also playing festivals such as Birminghams City Stages 03 - 05 and the infamous Furnace Fest. Promise the Ghost has proven to many that they are ready to take on the world. With the recent set backs and regrouping to form a much stronger PtG, taking on an additional guitarist Tyler Franklin. The band has now become even more capable.
