Should melodic hooks and intelligent introspection be mutually exclusive? Not if you ask Sullivan, the North Carolina rock band whose debut album "Hey I'm A Ghost" boasts a surprising mix of instrumental depth and instantly memorable pop-leaning crooning. Produced by Matt Goldman (Copeland) and mixed by Mike Watts (Brand New), the album is shocking in its depth, recalling the greatest moments of Jimmy Eat World and Sunny Deal Real Estate while carving out a niche that is distinctly Sullivan's sole territory. Sullivan has come leaps and bounds from when singer/guitarist Brooks Paschal and bass player Zach Harward were writing songs with a drum machine a few years ago, adding drummer Phil Chamberlain (brother of Underoath vocalist Spencer) and guitarist Tyson Shipman to fully realize their sound and their shared dream of truly connecting with fans emotionally.

Set for a January 24th release, a sneak peak at “Hey I’m A Ghost” can be found on Sullivan’s Pure Volume site here:
