Watchout! There's Ghosts was an American Crunkcore / Pop Rock / electronic band from Lodi, California.
The band was founded in 2008 by Singer Jordan Blake, Guitarist / Keyboardist Josh "DJ" Stotts and Drummer Knives Homunculi after Blake had left his old band Metalcore / post-hardcore group A Skylit Drive [1], Knives Homunculi left the band early on, the band continued as a duo using drum machines and they were signed to Rise Records [2] [3] and released only one album called Ghost Town [4]in 2009 to mostly positive reviews and had success touring North America aswell as Japan [5], However Guitarist Josh "DJ" Stotts left the group after their first 3 tours, Blake replaced him with guitarist DJ Blackard and continued to tour until 2011 when Blake temporarily added in 2 new members Bryan Mears and Mike Estivo however the band broke up in early 2012 after Rise Records dropped them from their label. Jordan Blake afterwards decided to take a break from music, in 2017 Blake briefly attempted to reboot the band with new members, one of which was announced guitarist Richie Abelia (ex-speak of the devil) and the duo was working on new songs but stopped after having difficulties finding more band members, Blake attempted to reform the band again in 2022 and announced that guitarist Richie Abelia would be joining the band again with him. He also went on to rejoin A Skylit Drive in 2022 for a She Watched the Sky Reunion tour. [6]
In April of 2023 Jordan Blake passed away, he was 36 years old. Richie Abelia released the final Watchout! There's Ghosts song under his name on his YouTube channel called "Hollow", the song was also played at one of the memorial shows for Jordan that A Skylit Drive played in late 2023 with vocalist Jonny Craig on vocals
