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.

Exclusive interview with Jayme Graves

“I wrote it [Melancholy Friend] myself during the Omicron variant outbreak. The pandemic has hit me hard and I really struggled with figuring out how to cope with it. The day I wrote the first couple of verses, I felt just utterly overwhelmed. I had just gotten off of a Zoom meeting and was just feeling overwhelmed with all the work we had to do despite living in the middle of a pandemic.”
