"Ghost Hand Punch derives their sound from a variety of influences. Growing up, John was way into music with swirling harmonies including the Beach Boys and a lot of 60’s psychedelic rock. When he met up with Paul he was introduced to more contemporary music especially “The Elms.” GHP’s music seems to be a combination of these sensibilities."
