Rock / Punk / Progressive Boston, MA |

"[Gravehaven] may be one of the best unsigned bands that you need to hear."
- David Spak, DECOYMUSIC.COM
Gravehaven just recorded their second album, Calico, with producer Kris Smith (Olympia, Dropkick Murphys). The seven tracks were mixed by Matthew Ellard (Morphine, Converge) and mastered by Alan Douches. Following the release of Calico on September 2, 2008, Gravehaven will tour the US east coast.
Gravehaven is an original, five-piece progressive rock/punk outfit based in Boston. The four original members began playing in clubs and various venues across northern New England, cultivating a modest following throughout the region. After years of scattered playing, the group knew that the addition of a passionate lead vocalist and a move to the Boston area would enhance their sound and take them to new heights. In late 2005, Gravehaven discovered Benjamin Grenville, an experienced acoustic performer in Boston. Seemingly a curious fit, the low-key singer-songwriter fronting a hard rock band like Gravehaven is a must listen. With the new lineup, Gravehaven released their debut EP, Perceptions for the Colorblind (9.19.06). Since, the band has hit venues hard, playing their breed of high-energy rock wherever and whenever they can. The bands intense emotion and vigorous live performance has been known to grab and hold the attention of every audience member, from the avid music fan to even the most intoxicated regular at the bar.
