Melancholy Friend OUT NOW
Jayme Graves’ debut EP “Melancholy Friend” breaks through the bounds of toxic positivity to deliver non-sugar coated truth about the state of the world and mental health struggles. The record draws on signature early 2000s pop/rock and punk sounds as a nod to their influences, including Paramore, Rise Against, Jimmy Eat World, Blink-182, and My Chemical Romance.
As Jayme Graves writes, they’re here to “bring depth back to the reignited pop/punk and emo revival.” They do exactly that on their debut EP Melancholy Friend. Guitar guides the way of the EP, with honest lyrics that you can feel deep down. “Blame the Internet” is a highlight with its opening guitar and catchy chorus that explores how it can feel to constantly log on and offline.
