Jayme Graves (they/them) is here to bring depth back to the reignited pop/punk and emo revival. They are here to kickstart the genre with their memorable pop melodies, ripping guitar riffs and thoughtful, truthful lyrics. Jayme's debut album, Melancholy Friend, will be released Summer 2023 as a celebration of their melancholy side.
The record came to Jayme slowly but honestly. Jayme grew up having a serious, melancholy side, often breezed over with words disguised as positivity. Jayme 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 sounds as a nod to the artists who have influenced Jayme (including Paramore, Rise Against, Jimmy Eat World, P!NK, and Blink-182). Melancholy Friend is a testament to authenticity and truth. Even the darkest parts of us need to be tended and cared for.
