Meet Ash, the newest member of Phantom Pulse, on the keys

Ash is kind, but she doesn't know the truth about the band. And they may not know the truth about her either

Ash will be played by Juliana Gutiérrez Arango! Our character art is by @noahdeaart.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

Meet Cal, the Phantom Pulse bassist

Always seeking more knowledge about the spirit world, Cal is whip-smart + playful, but their curiosity might be their downfall.

Meet Bremmer, the lead guitarist of Phantom Pulse.

Surly and reticent, there's a bleeding heart underneath that tough exterior.

Also secrets. A lot of secrets.

"Alongside a solid cast, Two Thousand and Late has a backing track of pumped-up rock music and destructive sound effects for all of Havoc’s (and sometimes Harper’s) misdeeds" - thank you to Fiction Frequency for the 4 star review!!

Meet Jo, the Phantom Pulse drummer!

Jo is a ball of unstoppable energy and a *bit* of an adrenaline seeker. Dying was the greatest thrill she'd ever experienced.

Do fiction podcasters keep passing around the same £16 (or $20)? Yes they do! So naturally I had to back @atypicalartists.co Phantom Pulse as well.

We all win when projects that pay union rates get made. It’s also an awesome project!

and while you're at it, check out their kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty... and their most recent show Two Thousand and Late (angry demonic anticapitalist horror dark comedy with a deeply emotional core). Everything Shippen has written I have loved.

Awhile back I was talking about audio drama/fiction podcasts and how much they used to mean to me. This show was one of the first to really get me and make me feel seen. This epilogue hit me big time yesterday. If you haven't, I highly recommend the show.

10 years ago today, the first episode of The Bright Sessions came out.

We just checked with Havoc and they said 'NO, IT'S GOOD, I ALWAYS HAVE FABULOUS IDEAS. OF COURSE YOU'RE ALIGNED WITH ME', so I think you're good?

😈 Two Thousand and Late by @atypicalartists.co (1.04- 1.05) These eps have made me finally like Gemma 👀 It does concern me that so many of my opinions align with Havoc’s . . . except, you know, the proclivity for murder. . .

Part of building the world of Phantom Pulse has been diving into the archives of fabulous 90s zines like Punk Planet. And maybe we've had a little fun imagining what might have been written if Phantom Pulse were real...
"a xerox of a page from punk planet that includes a paragraph reading, "" Then there's PHANTOM PULSE - a newish band that hasn't actually released a record. They've been around the under ground circuit for a year now, but the big news of the day is that they're playing a show at The Clover next month. Normally not all that note- worthy, but those that are in the know will remember the last time they played there. August '93, there was some kind of power surge at the venue and all four of them were electrocuted on stage. Yowza!!! Thankfully, they were all fine (after a bit), but The Clover definitely got egg on their face. Probably why they feel like they should give Phantom Pulse a headlining slot, despite not being very established. If I were them, I'm not sure I'd go back, but if you want to catch them, that's August 2nd, a year to the day they got those shocks. Good luck, guys! Stay away from loose cables!""""a xerox of a page from punk planet that includes a paragraph reading, "" Then there's PHANTOM PULSE - a newish band that hasn't actually released a record.
