Ghost Car, the London based international Punk quartet, have announced their debut album ‘Truly Trash’ following their signing to One Little Independent Records. The riotous, quick witted collection of eleven Garage Rock bangers will be released on October 28th. The album provides Ghost Car with a platform to rage against political injustices, as their unified battle cries attack patriarchal inequality, homophobia, racism and toxic relationships. ‘Truly Trash’ is a call to reclaim autonomy and to revolt against the powers that uphold an archaic nationalist system.

Grungy Pop Punk anthem and lead single ‘Sex’ channels the likes of Stiff little Fingers and The Undertones, mixing with the bands amalgamated influences from 60's girl groups to the explosive Rock n’ Roll of The Runaways. Right out the gate ‘Truly Trash’ makes its intentions clear. Riff heavy ballads rises in raw intensity as group harmonies build toward Shoegaze noise outs, and frenzied synth drags the sound in a 60’s Psych direction. Call and response gang vocals permeate the entire record as back to back choruses keep energy levels at maximum, boasting huge Glam guitars and caustic drums of pure fury.

Originally the album was due to be released by Burger Records, however as accounts of sexual assault and exploitation of women by associates of the label came to light the band pulled out of the planned release. As activists for feminism and members of the LGBTQ+ community, Ghost Car practice what they preach, and aim to spread their mantra of inclusivity and equal rights as loud as possible.

Ghost Car aim to utilize their diversity to explore different writing styles, while expressing themes of openness and empowerment. They’ve been championed by the likes of Mickey Bradley (Undertones), Skin and Du Blonde, and were deeply inspired by the late Lyndell Mansfield. They’ve also grown as performers supporting the likes of Shonen Knife, Amyl and The Sniffers and Beth Ditto (The Gossip), while remaining a London headline mainstay.
