TOUR
The Band
Celebrated by Alternative Press as one of the “40 Artists You Need to Hear,” Don't Believe In Ghosts continues to make waves in New York City’s indie rock scene with their signature blend of catchy hooks, uplifting energy, and thoughtful lyrics.
Their new album, But On The Bright Side, arrives November 7th, 2025, following the singles "Driver" (August 29th) and "Girl" (October 10th). To celebrate, the band will host an album release party on November 15th at Soho Live in NYC.
Recorded over two years, the album saw the band working across multiple studios and diving deeper into analog gear, live recording, and classic console techniques. Sessions included trips to Nashville to work with producer Don Miggs and to Cleveland to collaborate with Grammy-winning producer Ken Lewis, alongside recording in their home base of New York. Throughout the process, all three members took on multiple instruments, pushing their sound in new directions. The collection features songs mixed by legendary mixers Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons) and Ken Lewis(Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga), as well as tracks mixed by the band’s own frontman and producer Steven Nathan.
The band—Steven Nathan (vocals), Dan DelVecchio (guitar), and Ken Yang (drums)—has built a reputation for anthemic songwriting and high-energy performances. Past highlights include the Needham-mixed track "Put Your Head Back"—featured in the Apple TV+ series WeCrashed—and "Don’t Wake Me Up", which debuted at #2 on the ALL ACCESS retail radio chart and featured comedy legend Gilbert Gottfried in its video. "Slow Down" has surpassed 2 million plays on retail radio, and "Summer High" landed multiple Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists.
With their electrifying live shows—twice headlining sold-out performances at the Bowery Ballroom—and a track record of infectious, uplifting releases, Don't Believe In Ghosts (Mindful Recordings / Symphonic) shows no sign of slowing down. But On The Bright Side is set to be their most ambitious and sonically rich release yet.

Press
“Love this band! Very talented group and one to watch”
Mark Needham (Imagine Dragons, The Killers)
“Put this band on your radar!”
Stryker KROQ
“Don’t Believe In Ghosts share an optimistic view on life with their latest release, ‘Put Your Head Back.’ Intent on making others feel hopeful, the band deliver head-swaying rhythms and drum hits packaged into a sweet pop tune.”
Alternative Press / 40 New artists you need to hear in May
“‘Put Your Head Back,’ mixed by Mark Needham, is ‘a little boost of energy’ right into the system. Containing bright musical polish and an irresistible hook, the uptempo summer track could very well help people ‘reconnect with what’s important in them and feel hopeful about what’s coming’“
“Don’t Believe In Ghosts is an alt-rock band from NYC with infectious synth-pop sensibilities. At times their music seems so familiar that you may feel like you’ve wandered back 30 years into the heart of New-Wave. Yet, there’s so much about this group that is right at home in today’s rock/pop world.”
Don’t Believe In Ghosts showcase the beauty of what indie pop/rock should be all about, and that is not conforming to the radio, and being that artist that spills different colors from the artist’s palette onto the canvas.
“Don’t Believe In Ghosts will be one of your favorites especially if you enjoy bands like The Neighborhood and Foster The People.”
