The Ghost Inside, Belmont, and Set for Tomorrow

In 2004 A Dying Dream was formed of members Jonathan Vigil on lead vocals, Aaron Brooks on lead guitar, KC Stockbridge on drums, Soyer Cole on rhythm guitar and Tyler Watamanuk on bass and released the EP entitled “Now or Never” on the label Frontline Records. The EP had very limitied success however a year later on the label Mediaskare Records the EP was re-recorded and released with additional material.

2006 saw the band change their name to The Ghost Inside and release their first full-length studio album named “Fury and the Fallen Ones”, which was well received by fans and critics however did not chart in the U.S.

The Ghost Inside’s 2010’s follow-up “Returners” secured the band’s position within the hardcore genre creating huge heavy-hitting breakdowns, lightspeed riffs and creative, impassioned lyrics. This led to a period of consistent tour scheduling where the band was able to honed and improve their sound and skills, and played alongside the likes of Devil Wears Prada, Bring Me The Horizon and Parkway Drive.

The band’s third album “Get What You Give” released on their new label Epitaph Records introduced clean lyrics to the band’s repertoire and was produced by A Day To Remember’s Jeremy McKinnon who added some creative magic to the mix. The band maintained they upbeat energy but featured a lot more melodic instrumentation. The album charted at No. 88 on the Billboard 200 after which the band went on an extensive world tour.
