Steel Train has been growing in mass appeal over the last couple years. Their work is seen by many as a new stronghold in the mainstream yet somewhat indie rock world. And it’s all with good cause! The exclamation point for their recent success is going to be their upcoming June release, just in time for the summer festival circuit, with previews throughout the spring circuit! The guys have been kind enough to drop their first single for a nice preview of the intense indie hardcore style. “Turnpike Ghost” is a beautiful slice of guitar screeching and cymbal spanking pie that will use its high octane efficiency to demand your attention.
