Refreshing Punk Attitude with “Teenage Ghost”
Aaron Asteria began his career as a street musician and dropped out of his ETH studies shortly before graduation to pursue his dream of music. A few months later, he won the 2021 Coke Studio Soundcheck competition, before finally being discovered and signed by renowned Swiss music great Bligg in 2023. This was a decisive step in his career. In recent months, he has invested a lot of time in his debut album, which is now in the starting blocks. Following his first single release, ‘Don’t Worship Me’, his next release ‘Teenage Ghost’ is out now.
On first listen, the song seems light-hearted – hardly anyone would guess that behind the fast guitar riffs lies a theme in which the singer allows us to peer deep into his emotional abyss: the desire for death. It is all the more surprising that Aaron makes the subject his own and shapes it into a playful, self-determined number with a refreshing punk attitude. Aaron Asteria once again succeeds in combining emotional depth with danceable lightness, sparking curiosity about the rest of the upcoming album.
