About Me

"The Ghosts Of Verona, a hardcore, part-punk, part-punch-in-the-face band hit the stage with screams that echoed the intensity of Thrice and even got their metal-riffage burning, recalling their obvious metal influence."
- Rocky Mountain Collegian.
"I find The Ghosts of Verona to be an intelligent effort and a generous contribution to the post-hardcore scene. I believe they will continue to take hardcore in a new direction - which is sorley needed."
- Lisette Bushong - The Front Magazine
Call up 90.5 KCSUFM at (970) 491-5278 and request a song or go to AIM and send your request to kcsurequest.
I suppose this is where we fake an elaborate and flattering explanation of the band from an admirer's perspective:
"The Ghosts of Verona, one of Colorado's premier post-hardcore acts, are a barrage of sound, and a genre bending Megalith whose original guitar riffs, hammering drums, and pristine vocals bring them to the forefront of an otherwise bland music scene. Drawing influence from [insert large list of noteworthy hardcore/punk bands] they transcend the barriers of average songwriting to create a monstrosity of melody yet to be heard by the eager ears of mankind..." that was fun!
