Biography

Ghoulspoon was originally formed in 1989 in Kona, Hawaii by 4 high school friends & after a long winter living next to a pre-Nevermind Nirvana in Tacoma, the band found itself smack dab in the middle of the early 90's San Diego music explosion.

While the national press focused its attention on signing shoegazing punk bands in its search for "The Next Seattle", Ghoulspoon's unique blend of heavy riffs, introspective hip-hop rhymes, haunting reggae melodies & radio-ready hooks earned them headlining slots alongside fellow up-and-comers like Sprung Monkey, Unwritten Law, P.O.D., Blink-182, & Buck-O-Nine. Throughout the 90's, Ghoulspoon forged its own path & gained a reputation & following in the SoCal area through hard work & regional touring with the likes of Incubus, Korn, 311, Deftones, No Doubt, Sublime, Kid Rock, System of a Down, Static-X, Sugar Ray, Foo Fighters, The Cult, & Snot among many others. The band earned a huge fan base & many accolades including handfuls of San Diego Music Awards nominations & 1 win for "Best Hard Rock/Metal Band" in 2001.
