GHXST

Droning electric guitar dominates the dreamy metal-inflected performances of this new and hotly tipped New York band. - Vogue

Deep in dark veiled hearts, Shelley X, Chris Wild, and Nathan La Guerra of NYC's GHXST light their candles in tribute to their city's and the world's favorite cult band, The Velvet Underground - Impose Magazine

Shelley and her bleached, brooded-out gang are better known on the New York dive bar circuit as GHXST. Here, they discuss all things doom grunge. - Rollacoaster Magazine 2013

GHXST are a dark crew who take the cold wave underground’s technology and dynamic - analog synths, faltering drum machines - and cloak it in more stabbing, noise drapes. the ghosts of the uk’s industrial past are never far away on this release, with pulsing bass drums and doomy fuzzed up synths marking out the psychological territory, but there’s a dash of swoonsome shoegaze here to rescue the listener from completely drowning in the darkness. great stuff. - Rough Trade Shops

Grunge is a term to be used and abused. To be wrapped round your music and then flung in the bin.

GHXST seem to know that. A New York trio, the band's output is grunge in the sense of fusing fuzzed out guitars with candy-bar-sweet melodies. Oh, and noise - lots and lots of noise.

Hitting London soon, GHXST recently unleashed uncompromising new cut 'Doomgirl'. All NiN attack and bluesy vocals, the New York outfit have now seen fit to unveil another track.

'Black Camaro' pushes the needle well into the red. Backed by a new video, it finds the American outfit push the pedal to the (heavy) metal - like a delinquent version of Sabbath, or a twinkling, evil vision of Slayer's youth. - Clash Magazine (online)

YOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD OF:
GHXST from New York City.

IN A NUTSHELL, THEY'RE A BIT LIKE:
The class of No Wave being indoctrinated into a satanic cult run by A Place To Bury Strangers.

FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL:
The trio cite Jesus and Mary Chain, White Zombie, and Sonic Youth among their influences, and certainly deliver the elegantly wasted death-cool of a few of those predecessors. They release new single 'Black Camaro' on 25 June and play their first UK tour this month, kicking off with a DJ set at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen on the 15th. Tour dates can be found HERE.

IT'S ONLY A FIRST DATE, BUT WE'RE THINKING:
They obviously delight in being slightly evil, which always goes down well with us. - Artrocker Magazine (online and print)

They describe themselves as "deth grunge" but to us GHXST sound like a sleazy, female-fronted, New York City version of DZ Deathrays. If the singer from DZ Deathrays was on Quaaludes, that is. The NYC trio arrive in the UK this week, playing a host of veritable toilet venues up and down the country. - NME Magazine (print June 16 2012)

Unless you happen to live in Brooklyn ... you probably don't get a self-appointed DEATH GRUNGE band playing your local pub every week. Apart from this week, that is, when Shelley X, Chris Wild and Nathan La Guerra bring their deep and wicked sound to a number of cities in the UK.... - NME Magazine (print June 23 2012)

Whether you want to call them “doom grunge” or “noise pop,” GHXST has an undeniably infectious sound complete with droning guitars and wonderfully dissonant vocals. ~ Rory / SXSW - SXSW
