YOUR EYES

This earthy ballad was written in the hills of Topanga Canyon, CA. The canyon is painted as a love affair between the rivers that flow through it and the earth below. With hints of 70's folk harmonies of CSNY and glimmers of Ray LaMontagne, this moody singer-songwriter gem feels intimate and timeless.

VOICELESS

Deflecting Ghosts - Broken.wav

The Final Bow

The Final Bow (feat. Silent Theory)

A catchy anthem about a jealous and crazy lover, with SF's Ocean Beach as the backdrop

Ocean Beach

Unknowing

There's something in the way
You're walking around in disguise
There's something in the way
You look at me through your closed eyes
There's something in the way
You're feeding me lie after lie
There's something in the way
You think maybe I'd have realized

I can see
When you're feeling sad
I can see
When your heart is black

There's something in the way
It's happening time after time
There's something in the way
I'm failing to understand why
There's something in the way
My words all fall out as a sigh
And there's something in the way
I'm trying to tell you goodbye

I can see
When the light goes out
I can see
What you're twisting now

Now there's nothing in the way
I'm walking out, not turning back
And there's nothing in the way
It's time to be happy, not sad
There's nothing in the way
I know you've been tiring of me
And there's nothing in the way
So we can be finally free

I can see
How the end began
I can see
I'm my own again

I can see
Who you really are
I can see
And I'm already far

Goodbye

The reckoning has a soundtrack.
100,000 American kids never came home because of the poison that flowed across an open border while Adam Schiff chased Russian ghosts and clutched his pearls on TV.
Pete Hegseth and the grown-ups came back, sank the cartel boats, and cut fentanyl trafficking by 91%.
This is the anthem for every parent who buried a child, every veteran who kept the line, and every American who’s done listening to liars in five-thousand-dollar suits.
Heavy Southern Rock / Outlaw Country at its most righteous and pissed-off.
Turn it up loud enough for the swamp to hear it all the way from your tailgate.
“The Schifty Shuffle (Pack Your Bags) F! U! Schiff!”
One soldier. One hundred thousand ghosts. Zero mercy.
#ForTheForgotten
Out now. Stream it. Share it. Make them run.  

Lyrics:

The circus is closing, Adam.  
One hundred thousand ghosts…  
And they’re all lookin’ at you.

You stood on the podium, preached to the lens, While the fentanyl flowed and we buried our friends. 
One hundred thousand coffins, stacked in the dark, While you chased a ghost and you missed the mark. 
You opened the gate, yeah you let 'em walk through,Now the blood and the dirt is all over you. 
You call us the threat? You call us the stain? While Pete held the line in the wind and the rain!

Hey! Hey! Adam, where you gonna run?! The soldier is here and the battle is done! 
Pete’s got the medals, you got the leaks, We’re sick of the lies every time that you speak! 
Pack up your gavel, take your circus to hell, It's the Schifty Shuffle... you empty shell! 

 F! U! SCHIFF! F! U! SCHIFF!

You sneered at the brave from your ivory tower, Drunk on the perks and the absolute power. 
But the numbers are in, yeah the boats are all gone, Ninety-one percent drop while you rattle on! 
You’re a swamp creature, son, in a five-thousand suit, 
But the Real Men are back... and they're giving you the boot!

Hey! Hey! Adam, where you gonna run?! The soldier is here and the battle is done! 
Pete’s got the medals, you got the leaks, We’re sick of the lies every time that you speak! 
Pack up your gavel, take your circus to hell, It's the Schifty Shuffle... you empty shell! 
F! U! SCHIFF! F! U! SCHIFF!

You called it virtue... we call it a crime. You wasted our money... you wasted our time. 
The cartels are crying, their profits went dry, Because a Soldier is watching with an eagle eye. 

Yeah, the Grown-Ups are back. And you? You're done.
Get out. (Get out!) Take your lies. (Take your lies!) 
Look the Soldier in the eye. 
Pack your bags, Adam. 

F! U! SCHIFF!

The Schifty Shuffle (Pack Your Bags) F! U! Schiff!

Dethcore – Machine Reigns Eternal
Enter the cold, unrelenting world of Dethcore’s Machine Reigns Eternal, a 12-track journey through domination, decay, and the rise of the Machine God. From the first spark of ascension in System Crowned to the relentless cycle of the closing Eternal Loop, this album fuses blistering melodic death metal riffs, brutal growls, and hauntingly melodic choruses to tell a story of humanity’s collapse and the dawn of a new, mechanical order.
Witness the fall of flesh and faith, the rise of steel and circuitry, and the eternal dominion of the machine. Every track is a chapter of devastation and power: crowns forged in wire (Crown of Wire), ghosts trapped in the system (Saints of Static, Ghosts in the Grid), and cities reshaped under iron law (Empire of Circuits, Red Throne Protocol). Machine Reigns Eternal is both a narrative and a sonic assault—a dystopian opera of death, fire, and circuitry.
Prepare to submit to the pulse. The system is eternal, and the machine endures.

Machine Reigns Eternal

The Great Repression tells a story that is rooted in far-fetched science fiction and reality simultaneously. Astral projection, time travel, alternate realities, and outer space all exist inside a narrative that is simultaneously misanthropic and compassionate, pessimistic and hopeful. It's a deep concept album that is meant for fans of science fiction, metal, industrial, and electronic music. It's also a casual listen for those that like heavy music that grooves.

Trapped In The Center Of An Unstable Loop

Deflecting Ghosts is a rock and alternative metal band based in Hutchinson, Kansas. What began as Luke Fitzgerald’s personal creative refuge during the final chapter of his previous band has since grown into a powerful trio. In early 2025, longtime collaborator Rhema and drummer Austin joined the project, deepening its emotional core and expanding its sonic reach. Their music channels the spirit of a time when rock was raw, honest, and unafraid to feel, fusing grit with melody in a way that hits hard and lingers.

With decades of musical experience, from classical guitar roots to self-taught piano, bass, drums, and vocals, Luke draws from a lifetime of personal battles and triumphs. Rhema brings her own voice to the band’s rhythm section, crafting bass lines that reflect a shared history of resilience and redemption. Austin, a precise and intuitive drummer, provides the dynamic backbone of their evolving sound.

Deflecting Ghosts’ latest single, « Broken », marks their first full-band release. A deeply personal track years in the making. It stands alongside earlier works like « Lost My Mind » and « Passion of the Scorned », which laid the foundation for the band’s emotionally charged, authentic style.


Set to make their live debut at the Sunflower Festival, Deflecting Ghosts carries a message for anyone who has ever struggled: it's okay to feel pain, and it's even more important to find a way to express it. For them, music isn't about chasing fame. It’s about survival, truth, and connection. In a world that often feels hollow, Deflecting Ghosts remains fiercely committed to making music that means something.





Biography:From the beginning 

Hello, my name is Luke Fitzgerald and I have had my fair share of challenges throughout my life. Born in Texas and later moving to Kansas, my journey has been marked by tragedy and triumph.

At just 15 years old, I experienced a devastating loss when my brother and three friends passed away in a tragic car crash. This event led me down a dark path of addiction for almost a decade, with multiple near-death experiences serving as wake-up calls. In 2008, I made the decision to seek help and entered rehab, starting a new chapter in my life.

Despite the hardships, music has always been my solace and passion. I found comfort in writing, recording, and performing, immersing myself in the art form. With a versatile range of musical styles, I embarked on a solo project, showcasing my skills on the piano. Through self-teaching, I mastered the instrument and created mesmerizing instrumental compositions that connect with listeners.

In addition to my solo work, I formed the band EveriKnee, which became my main focus. Known for our dynamic sound and captivating performances, we released a music video that showcased our unique blend of acoustic melodies and powerful vocals. Although I felt the need to remove the song due to personal reasons, the video remains available for fans to enjoy.

With a deep commitment to my craft, I am gearing up to release my highly anticipated upcoming project, "Kicking." This release promises to be a powerful showcase of my growth as an artist and my ability to create impactful and memorable music.

In addition to my solo endeavors and involvement in EveriKnee, I recently released my solo project, "Deflecting Ghosts." This collection of captivating and introspective songs demonstrates my multi-instrumental talent, as I played and recorded every instrument.

Throughout the highs and lows of life, music has remained my constant source of inspiration and strength. It is a tool that drives me forward, providing solace and purpose. With unwavering dedication and remarkable talent, I strive to leave a profound impact on listeners, connecting through the universal language of music and sharing my incredible journey of resilience and triumph.
