{"title":"Give Up The Ghost","description":"Give Up The Ghost helped redefine modern hardcore with a volatile mix of emotional intensity, stark poetry, and unrelenting speed. Emerging from Boston’s hardcore community in the late 1990s, the band, led by vocalist and lyricist Wes Eisold, fused raw, serrated riffs with lyrics that explored alienation, loss, and personal upheaval in a way that resonated far beyond the underground.

After a series of breakups and returns, Give Up The Ghost’s legacy endures in the continued relevance of their records and the lasting impact they left on the shape and spirit of hardcore.","products":[{"product_id":"were-down-til-we-re-underground-cd","title":"We're Down Til We re Underground | CD","description":"\u003ch3\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(It's Sometimes Like It Never Started)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove American\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoung Hearts Be Free Tonight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSince Always\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalculation-Nation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Last Supper After Party\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrime Scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAEIOU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrush Of The Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Lotion Could Ever Unclog These Pores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Killed It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(And It's Sometimes Like It Will Never End)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n \nDebut album for Burning Heart Records for this Boston hardcore band originally formed in the fall of 1999 as American Nightmare.
