about

Metal Ghost is an indie rock/punk duo from Berlin and Copenhagen. They were two of the three members from the now-defunct German noise rock/punk trio 18th Dye. While 18th Dye focused more on atmospheric and dissonant drone sounds, Metal Ghost is more of a melodic power pop act with some punk sensibilities, somewhat reminiscent of late Naked Raygun or the Buzzcocks. The group’s static drum and bass sound is complemented by the catchy female vocalist and the electronic triggers sometimes implemented by the drummer. Whenever someone introduces me to a new drum and bass group I cross my fingers for some Death From Above 1979 style dancey punk, but this group pleasantly surprised me with their surf rock inspired track “Did You Know That” which makes up the A-side of this split.
The record’s B-side contains Porcupine’s track “Rooftops,” which has an incredibly catchy indie/shoegaze sound driven by the poppy bassline which meshes nicely with the mix of late 90’s alternative and early 00’s math rock found on the rest of the track. The bonus track “It’s All Right (Underwater)” maintains Porcupine’s expertly crafted throwback sound but adds a hint of indie folk in the vein of groups such as The Shins that makes it an upbeat yet melancholy listen.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Had to get this because of Greg Norton. Husker Du is my favorite band ever and he is such an underrated bass player, and this is a great EP. Standing by the Sea is obviously my favorite track here, might even be my favorite version. RIP Grant huskers_fan99

This song ticks all the boxes for me. Guitar sounds, vocals, song structure. I can't put my finger on any one factor, it all works together to make a really great song. malfunction54
