Race The Ghost was born in 2005 and released its self-titled debut that same year. Quickly gaining momentum and fans, two EPs followed, In The Drink (2006), and Devil Got My Radio (2007). But their lineage dates back much further. The quartet, consisting of two sets of brothers: Vincent Bruni (vocals and guitar), Benjamin Bruni (bass and vocals), Michael Salati (drums and sound engineer), and Frank Salati (guitar and vocals), have been climbing the ranks together for decades. Of course, they met in grade school. Of course, they spun records together in middle school. And of course, they played in bands together in the dance halls of their high schools. These are the experiences that allow Race The Ghost to breathe with one set of lungs and react with one set of reflexes. This is the body of experience that brings out Race The Ghost’s fourth independent release, My First Crown, which hit the street May 2, 2009.

"My First Crown, following two EPs, is notable for its intricate to funky indie-rock guitar lines and sweetly melodic sibling harmonies with some pop punch."
SCOTT MERVIS Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Three Rivers Arts Festival 2007 Press Release
"Where many self-released early albums are rough around the edges, Race the Ghost's flow smoothly, and sound studio-produced. The band combines a DIY ethic -- proudly using its own equipment to record -- with a professionalism often lacking in the age of cheap audio software and the CD-R."
Hey guys...heard you had a great show....love the pictures and the video. And for Frank and Mike...just remember..I knew you when, and you know the rest..continued success to all of you...
I wanted to wish you guys the best of everything for your new cd release party. I so wish I could be there, but alas that will be my moving day. Actually thought of not moving just so I could go to what I know will be a bomb digidy kick ass party...but I couldn't find a way to tell all the boxes who are all ready and waiting to go to their new home...I just couldn't do it to them. They look so sad just sitting around with no where to go. But again, good luck, God bless and have FUN!
