"[1] The metal band Holy Ghost Revival was founded on Bainbridge Island, Washington state[1] in 2001.
"[5] The name Holy Ghost Revival was taken from a shop sign in Seattle called The Blade,[6] and the band got a van and began booking their own shows.
The musicians featured on this album were Conor Kiley (vocals), Sterling MacKinnon (bass), Andy Crane (keyboard), TV Coahran (guitar), and Mikko Freeman (drums).
[4] NME gave Twilight Exit a score of 7/10, drawing connections to 1970s and 1980s rock bands such as Guns N' Roses and Jethro Tull, and stating "While on one side of Seattle Fleet Foxes are creating succulent Americana that smells of dew-flecked pine trees and freshly laundered plaid shirts, Holy Ghost Revival are on the other lobbing out star-spangled pop that, by the looks of them, you’d expect to reek of vomit, spontaneous street violence and pushing over grannies.
"[7] About the band's message, Kiley has stated, "I guess it has no redeeming social value like any good rock n’ roll music.
"[5] James Monger of Allmusic called frontman Kiley "an unholy cross between Iggy Pop, Axl Rose, and Jim Morrison.
"[1] The band cites The Scorpions and The Doors as influences, as well as Diamond Dogs, David Bowie,[6] Blue Öyster Cult,[2] and movie soundtracks.
