The Ghost Inside is a hardcore metal band from Los Angeles, California. Their first full-length release was Fury and the Fallen Ones in April 2008. This record caught the attention metal heads throughout the world, so much so that they were invited to support Australia's metalcore band, I Killed the Prom Queen, on their Say Goodbye tour. The band has also supported Senses Fail, The Devil Wears Prada, Parkway Drive, Ceremony, and so many more especially by traveling with the "10 for $10" tour in 2009.. ten bands for ten bucks!

The Ghost inside is pretty dedicated to touring and playing for their fans so their sophomore album released in June 2010 called Returners touches on what its like to return to "places that you’ve come to know quite well, (that you “return” to) and you notice that some things are completely different than the last time you were there. A big part of this for me was when I would return home" states Jonathan in  an interview with CX.CITY Clothing. All the touring has taught him that nothing stays the same forever, no matter how bad you wish it would, "it's human evolution," he explains. In fact, the band themselves had changes to face when drummer KC Stockbridge decided to part from the band but his slot was quickly filled by Andrew Tkaczyk, former drummer for Fallen Dreams. He joined the band on tour in February 2011 and were signed to Epitaph Records at the beginning of 2012. Andrew debut his talents on The Ghost Inside's third release, Get What You Give, with what many say is an awesome drum performance. They are supporting the new release on Warped Tour this summer and the heading to Australia to close out the year.
