Title: Smile
Artist: 8 Graves
Release Date: 23 February 2018
Label: Self-Released
A hard hitting and heartfelt reminder, that despite it all: the ups and downs and tribulations that is life – one must remember to smile.
8 Graves with their monster track Smile, shows their unique ability to genre mesh the emotional and relatable feels of a grunge rock tune, with the hard hitting saw synths and sub of a future bass track. The resulting mix is masterful. This in collaboration with a vocal that carries the same infectious chorus that you’d find in a blink-182 track, will possess your heart, as you won’t be able to hold back from singing along. The dark mentalities of the song are both applicable and relevant, their punk style is absolutely a must listen. I see only huge success in the future, with their uniqueness and ability to hybridize popular genres. Keep an eye on 8 Graves.
“Iʼm a beast. Iʼm a breath. Iʼm a weapon”
8 Graves
“The roller coaster of human emotion twisting and turning within all of its rages through deep, dark valleys and over soaring, triumphant loops. While we are all present for our own ride, it’s rare to take a seat on someone else’s. This is the experience inherently present in each song 8 Graves produces. Listening to a song, you’re ripped down by the harsh, lonesome, introspective realities and bleak circumstances of our journey through life, and then catapulted back up by the spiteful, defiant strength we sometimes find in those moments. The pain and the progress; the push and the pull are present in every measure, begging to hide away, yet demanding to be heard. 8 Graves offers us the opportunity to hurt together, to bleed aloud, and to know the struggles we feel isolate us guarantee we are never alone.”
