In February 2009, the band announced they had signed with Epitaph Records , becoming the first British act to do so not solely for distribution. In June 2009 their second album New Hopes, New Demonstrations was released. The album, recorded in Stockholm with experienced producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt ( Refused , The Hives ), was described by vocalist Tom Lacey as “very heavy, heavier than This Is Where The Fight Begins , but its whole feel is a lot sadder.” The band also played 3 songs for the BBC Radio 1 Rockshow at the Maida Vale studios. The band were due to play the Saturday headlining slot on the Red Bull stage at 2009’s Download Festival , but pulled out due to family reasons. They went on to perform at Reading and Leeds festivals and Hevy Music Festival in 2009. They played the Rock Sound magazine sponsored stage at Guilfest 2009. They continued their extensive touring, culminating with the UK and European Eastpak sponsored Antidote Tour, alongside Alexisonfire , Anti-Flag and Four Year Strong . In March 2010, The Ghost of a Thousand appeared at the Texan music festival South by Southwest and continued their touring schedule with a European tour with Cancer Bats , performing at Groezrock then more recently with The Bronx .
