Reminiscent of classic rock groups from the 70s and 80s, 308 Ghost Train takes inspiration from musical collectives such as Bon Jovi and The Beatles, while the vocals of frontman 'Train' Caruso have been compared to Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp and John Fogerty.[1]
History
In 2018, frontman Anthony 'Train' Caruso co-wrote the song We are Us, which won Caruso his first POSI award in the Social Justice category, inspiring him to take the step to form 308 Ghost Train.
After 'Train' Caruso wrote the lyrics for Worn and I'll Unbreak Your Heart in 2019, 308 Ghost Train was formed, born from two key elements which characterise the band: the 'Train' - frontman Anthony Caruso - and the Holy Ghost, whom Caruso credits as his musical director.
The remaining element of the band's name - 308 - refers to John: 308, a passage in the Bible which states, 'The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.'[2]
After releasing their first track 21 Guns and a Million Tears to SoundCloud in May 2019, 308 Ghost Train had released their full EP 'Born in the Wild' by fall of that year, including tracks 21 Guns and a Million Tears, Worn, This Is My Home, I'll Unbreak Your Heart and the title track Born in the Wild.
With the release of Bleed Over Me in June 2020, 308 Ghost Train rose from relative obscurity to acquiring 4 million listens in one month. Online music magazine XXTRAWAVE dubbed the track 'a musical vaccine', as it became an anthem for fans during the pandemic, contributing to 308 Ghost Train's rapid rise in popularity.[3]
Now, the band have amassed an accumulative 50 million plays on SoundCloud, securing a fanbase which stretches across the world.[4]
In 2021, 308 Ghost Train is scheduled to shoot a pilot with The Y Networks for a TV series called 'On the Rise', entering into an Exclusive Video agreement with the network.[5]
