Boys Night Out Return with "100% Ghosts," a Hopeful and Emotive Post-Hardcore Anthem
Boys Night Out have officially returned with their brand new single, “100% Ghosts” — a cathartic, high-energy blend of alternative and post-hardcore that captures the band’s trademark mix of raw emotion, technical musicianship, and unforgettable hooks.
“100% Ghosts” is inspired by the importance of moving forward, even when it feels impossible. The song presents a two-chapter story: the first half acknowledges the fear and vulnerability of confronting personal demons, while the second half builds toward a resolution, propelled by gang vocals, screaming, and surging instrumentation that remind us to keep going.
The title itself was born from a playful moment – vocalist Connor Lovat-Fraser joking about his wife’s ghost sightings on tour buses and in venue green rooms. Paired with the song’s themes of perseverance, however, it became the perfect way to encapsulate the message.

Produced, engineered, and co-written by longtime BNO collaborator Scotty Komer – who also played bass on the track – “100% Ghosts” reflects everything fans have come to expect from the band: handclaps, gang vocals, alliterative lyrics, a balance of clean singing and screaming, and a sound rooted in punk rock, hardcore, and pop.
“Personally, this song makes me feel positive and excited for what the future holds,” says vocalist Connor Lovat-Fraser. “It was deeply cathartic to write and sing during the recording process. I can’t wait to perform it live on stage.”
We’re often embarrassed and too scared to share our scars with anyone
Boys Night Out formed in 2001 in Burlington, Ontario as a collaborative effort between guitarist Jeff Davis and vocalist Connor Lovat-Fraser. Known for their powerful mix of raw emotion and dynamic musicianship, they rose to prominence with their energetic live performances and landmark releases like Make Yourself Sick (2003) and the critically acclaimed concept album Trainwreck (2005), earning a JUNO Award nomination for “New Group of the Year” in 2005.
Following a decade-long hiatus beginning in 2008, the band reunited in 2024 for a celebrated performance at Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama, reigniting their bond with longtime fans while attracting a new generation of listeners. Now revitalized with a fresh lineup – Connor Lovat-Fraser (vocals), Scott Komer (bass/production), Matt McCausland (drums), Joe Baldasio (guitar), and Andrew Falcao (guitar) – Boys Night Out are embracing both their legacy and their future with a renewed sense of energy and purpose.
“100% Ghosts” is only the beginning of this new chapter.
