Who are we?
Ghosts Exist is a 4-piece American Indie rock band from Washington DC, USA. Formed in 2022, the band consists of Gabi Schulte (Vocals, Guitar), Brendan Gaughan (Vocals, Guitar), Jasmine Gillison (Bass), and Adam Schilpp (Drums). Their guitar-driven melodies and poignant vocals make for a unique blend of shoe gaze and harmony-laden sonic bops.
Many people ask what the name, Ghosts Exist, means. At the surface level, yes, the band makes a statement of belief in something other than our physical plane of being. But at its deepest meaning, ghosts, are more like: memories and regrets, anxieties and hopes, dreams and wishes. They haunt and consume, motivate and drive. These are the things we live with everyday and how we cope is a core question the band asks. That is what lies at the center of the band’s music, with each guitar cry and lyrical vulnerability.
Our first single.
“Love Bomb” is Ghosts Exist first single released in 2023. It was written in bits and pieces, but when it finally came together it all made sense. It was originally called, “Strung,” born out of the concept of being strung along in a relationship. A few years went by and Gabi, who wrote the song, revisited this old demo and brought it to the band. It was then flushed out and fully realized as what it is, an anthem for those who fall into a toxic, blissful, chaotic connection with someone who won’t let you go.
Get in touch.
