New Hampshire-based quartet Great American Ghost examine “our basest instincts as a society” on their fourth full-length album and SharpTone Records debut, Tragedy Of The Commons which arrives on January 31st, 2025. Several singles are out now, including “Kerosene”.

Ethan Harrison (vocals) says:

We are a political band, and we always have been. We integrate ‘extreme views’ into what we do, which is ‘extreme music’. Rather than write another generally political album, we tried to play into broader themes of hopelessness. Normal people are losing control on a constant basis. Tragedy Of The Commons is a statement about exploitation. If two people share finite resources, one person will eventually exploit those resources and hurt the other person. Citizens don’t have enough money to eat and live in this country, but our government is spending billions on funding other armies around the world that are being used to kill other poor people. Tragedy Of The Commons boils down to this fundamental exploitation of the less fortunate.

The band’s latest previous release was 2022’s Torture World EP and they previously toured with bands such as The Ghost Inside, Alpha Wolf, and Fit For A King.

After signing to SharpTone Records, they hit the studio with producer Will Putney and crafted Tragedy Of The Commons.
