Ghost Mice

The Debt Of The Dead

A two piece political, anarchist, DIY folk punk band from Indiana. Both members, Chris Clavin and Hannah Jones, have been in the bands Disarm, The Devil Is Electric and Operation: Cliff Clavin. They decided to play folk punk so they could tour easily, play almost anywhere and get rid of the usual restrictions of amps and equipment, often playing in backyards and on street corners.
