NYC-based Alternative Rock duo, 8 Graves, play by their own rules. Rejecting common internet clout chasing and the flash-over-substance culture that is so prevalent in music today, they are blazing their own path to success with emotionally impactful songs, a strong message, and individual, one-on-one personal contact with their thousands of supporters across their various social media outlets. They have become a safe place for listeners who may not have a musical home in this age of pop-driven simplicity. Their powerful connection to their loyal fan base has propelled them to a remarkable amount of success with almost little-to-no support from the “machine” of the music industry. As a completely independent artist, everything 8 Graves has achieved has been on pure merit. They’ve found their songs placed on some of the most exclusive playlists streaming services have to offer,  including Spotify’s Viral 50 (US, Poland, Latvia), Rock This, The New Alt, New Noise, Singled Out, Fresh Finds, Alternative Beats, 100% Rock, Soak Up the Sun, and Friday Cratediggers, and have had multiple tracks featured on Apple Music’s Best of the Week. They’ve received airplay on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation and BPM, as well as terrestrial stations KITS San Fran, KTCL Denver, KCJK Kansas City, WRIF Detroit, KPNT St. Louis, KFRR Fresno, KFMA Tucson, WSFS South Florida, WLKK Buffalo, KFMG Des Moines, WCYY Portland, WSOU, and many others. They also made their television soundtrack debut on ABC/Marvel Studio’s Cloak and Dagger, and have had their songs featured in nationwide retail chains like H&M. In addition, 8 Graves has received the praise of many high-profile music blogs, like Alternative Press, Earmilk, Baeble Music, Substream Magazine, and Mandatory.
