Thought I’d throw out a little harmless plug for the up-and-coming Los Angeles band Another Ghost. (Yes, they’re my friends, but nothing’s wrong with a little nepotism every now and then. Besides, if we’re going to talk about nepotism in the LA music scene, it’s fair to say it runs pretty rampant around a particularly famous downtown hole-in-the-wall club…)

But enough gossip—Another Ghost prides itself on being a quasi-danceable hybridization of art rock, post-punk, and new wave. (Not a bad crop of genres to aspire to.)

For a limited time, the band is offering their debut EP, Demons Away, as a free download off their website. You can also pick up a physical copy of the record at any of their live shows.

The band is currently prepping to record their second EP (as of now, untitled), and will soon play a slew of local music hotspots during the summer months. To stay in the loop, you can “friend” the band on Facebook or MySpace, join their group of supporters, follow them on Twitter, and whatever else you crazy Web 2.0 kids are doing these days.
