To Repel Ghosts

Band from Varese, Italy; released a self-titled CD of seven listed tracks (an apparent unlisted 'ghost' track may make eight) that mixes post-punk, alternative and harder rock elements.

Their self-titled album includes a cover of Flipper's "Way of the World." Review comparisons include Bauhaus, Echo and the Bunnymen, Pixies, Iron Maiden (guitar arrangements), Foo Fighters (vocals), Motorhead and Steppenwolf (harder tracks), and Joy Division (atmosphere in instrumental passages).

Reviewer Pop discovered To Repel Ghosts by chance and reviewed their self-titled CD. The album has 7 listed tracks (an unlisted 'ghost' track may make 8) and mixes post-punk, alternative and harder rock tones. Highlights include a transformed Flipper cover, "Way of the World," and the punk-leaning track "Nowhere." The reviewer liked the variety and is curious about the band's live energy.

For:Listeners of post-punk, alternative rock and darker/harder rock who appreciate bands referenced in the review (Bauhaus, Echo and the Bunnymen, Pixies, Motorhead).
