Speaking With Ghosts is a 5-piece Metalcore band based out of Chicago, Illinois. The band consists of Ryan Wilmot, Craig Hoffman, Tyler Baskin, Pat Olson, and Jake Stone.

Starting in December of 2013, the band set off to make an impact on the local scene and worked tirelessly to play shows and put out music. In June of 2014, the band traveled up to Michigan to record their debut EP, Searching For Direction. Upon their return, they shot a music video for a single off the EP, Enemy.

Since then, they’ve continued to play shows and make an impact on the local music scene, culminating in a chance to play Knotfest 2015 in San Bernardino, California, and have worked all throughout 2016 to write an album worthy of being their first full length release.

In 2017, the band has worked hard to tour in order to spread influence nationwide and create new friends along the way. Their work ethic shows no signs of stopping, and 2017 will see the release of the band’s first full length album, Illuminated, released under Famined Records.

The band takes their influences from other bands such as The Ghost Inside, Kingdom of Giants, Fit For A King, Parkway Drive, The Color Morale, and August Burns Red. The band strives to maintain an exciting, crowd inclusive show that is both enjoyable to listen to and entertaining to watch.
