White
City Graves blends dark subject matter into a compelling and catchy bed
of sonic intrigue. Since 2011 they have staked a claim as a mainstay in
the Seattle music scene, drawing descriptions like Hard Rock, Metal,
Punk and Horror Punk. The truth is, it’s all of the above with the
culmination of influences by the veteran members of this 4 piece Seattle
rock band: Adam Ketola, Wes Scott, Troy Lund and Brent Powell.
They’ve
garnered the attention of local and national music insiders with
airplay across the country and abroad, along with the honor of
supporting legendary touring acts D.R.I., The Casualties, Doyle (of the
Misfits) and The Real McKenzies, just to name a few.
It
has not gone unnoticed, as they said over at The Ripple Effect; “...It
sounds as if someone had taken TSOL, Theater of Hate, and some gut-level
Oi! punk and tossed em all into an audio blender. Brutal in all the
right places, but played with real chops and conviction. Melodic and
times, varying in tempo and pace. Dynamics shifting. Really, the song is
just a complete hurricane. No other way to describe it. I could listen
to this thing on repeat all day and never get tired of it...”
To
date they have released their first self-titled EP in 2011, followed by
a West Coast tour that led them to the iconic Whisky a Go Go. They
followed it up with the well-received LP “Wilmington.” And now, with
their latest full-length vinyl release of “One of Us,” they’ve expounded
on their sound even further, with a more focused and concise musical
theme.
