An ominous piano intro ushers in a frenzied blitz of rock in Chasing Ghosts' "Nervine." While showing obvious proclivities to bands like the Deftones, there is a nod to pop sensibility in influences like Jimmy Eat World. When stripped of the electronic injections and studio touches, Jacksonville based Chasing Ghosts shows an earnest inclination for the intensity and energy that would be welcome by post-punk rockers that throw it up for Jets to Brazil and their ilk. I would imagine that this favorable characteristic really manifests itself in their live show.
While "Nervine" could fit comfortably into a modern rock radio station lineup with 30 Seconds to Mars and Fall Out Boy, there is a penchant for artistry, experiment and ambition that sets them apart and could be that type of gateway group that lays the groundwork for fans wanting more than what is in the DJ's rotation.
