ghostfuneral Mass Plagiarism

2021-02-06 by AdoreSwancore | 45 Comments
Math rock/ Emo "band" ghostfuneral have been accused (and subsequently proven) to have completely stolen and plagiarised all of their music from various other small musicians.

This is seemingly not a recent phenomenon with previous/current projects that the members of ghostfuneral have been involved with (Significantly., Breaking character, super 3d dream machine), having also been found to have been plagiarised from various artists.

Since being accused ghostfuneral have subsequently deleted their bandcamp and related twitter accounts. Below is a handy link to a twitter post listing the stolen material to the corresponding original releases:

Fuck those guys!

The album by Lawnchairs, which they stole, is really good. You should check them out.

This isn't even plagiarized, they literally just uploaded the other artist's songs as their own. At least it turned me onto The Planet You which is a fantastic band.

are "fact" and "checking" alien words to them? there's even olskool 8-bit gaming music fans who will know if you ripped off Mega Man or Castlevania, etc. - how far did they think this would get them? they must be high off 50 things simultaneously each day to be so short-sighted...

Is this more or less embarrassing than that nu metal band that ripped off some guitarist churning out generic nu metal riffs on youtube?

I mean, it's pretty damn obvious that, since ghostfuneral is a band that just popped up... that this is an effort by all these other small bands to gain some notoriety and get their music out there. Pretty damn clever I must say...
