WARGRAVES

Jay Greenough – guitar
Kyle Kingsbury – vocals
Jason Barker – bass
Graham Messier – drums

WarGraves’ sound is described as proto-punk with clear surf and garage influences whose songs pay homage to bands like the Dead Boys and The Stooges, that also leans into hardcore punk like Descendents and Bad Religion. The band features Jay Greenough on guitar (founding member of New Hampshire psychobilly band The Caught Flies), vocalist Kyle Kingsbury  (singer/songwriter and front man for folk rock band Dust Cloud), and former North Shore punks Ready, Steady…. Torpedo! rhythm section, drummer Graham Messier and bass player Jason Barker. The songs that became the first WarGraves EP began to take shape in the fall of 2016 after the demise of The Caught Flies. The first incarnation of the band played a handful of shows in 2017 and 2018 in thier hometown of Manchester, NH, in Portland, ME, and Boston before departing members drove the band into hiatus. By 2018, Jay joined forces with Jason Baker to form a new musical project and, after a few practices with another drummer, Graham was invited to join on drums. Kyle returned as lead singer. With the blessing of past members, this configuration of the band moved forward as WarGraves and, in 2019, released their second EP, Life on the Outside, and have played shows with local legends like Jonee Earthquake and Scissorfight, and local favorites like Time out Timmy, Secret Spirit, The Knock Ups, Baluchitherium, and Hey Zeus.
