The Future Ghosts is Daniel Bon’s solo project. On the recordings Daniel Bon sings and plays all instrumentation. Marc Sherman drums. Live members are typically, but not always, Marc Sherman, Dan Milone, Andy Vallario & Jeff Pongo.



If The Future Ghosts made a “commercial” it would go something like this:



The Future Ghosts are “…well on their way” according to Entertainment World. “Peeling Away the Beauty”, the follow-up to the successful debut, “Walking Backwards Thru the City”, is certainly a testament to that. This sophomore album comes just six months later and picks up right where “Walking Backwards…” left off. The Future Ghosts deliver more hook-laced dance-rock but with more edge this time around. The songs are brimming with energy and charisma as plush melodies are blended with buzzsaw guitars.



“Peeling Away the Beauty” highlights a more aggressive side to Bon’s songwriting. It’s a restless side that demands the listeners attention. Songs like “All of These Things” and “Loud Cloud” are fast paced and reminiscent of modern day Foo Fighters, while “Baba Ghanoush” and “Turn It All Around” are ethereal and intricately layered pieces.



Be warned…the songs are sticky. Think maple syrup on your hands hours after you’ve tried to wash it off. It’s still there and it’s still sweet when you lick it.



The Future Ghosts are currently in the studio recording a new EP due out in 2010.
