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 has hit local 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.
Gravehaven has played with several national acts, most notably: 10 Years, A Wilhelm Scream, Sponge, No Trigger, Only Crime, Sundowner, American Minor, Whippersnapper, and Big Wig.

Sounds Like:
"[Gravehaven] may be one of the best unsigned bands that you need to hear."
- David Spak, DECOYMUSIC.COM

"I've been troubled in finding ways to describe this five-piece band from Boston. The group opts for the wording "progressive rock/punk outfit," but I think that undercuts how intense the band sounds. With a six song EP that was recorded at the always great sounding Q Division studios, GRAVEHAVEN aren't settling for anything amateurish."
- Jordan A. Baker, PASTEPUNK.COM

"Gravehaven’s sound kinda takes me back a bit when dissonance and time changes could still rock and harmonies over muted chords got the girls. Although these tunes are pretty accessible, there’s a LOT going on in here setting apart from that garbage on the radio; here’s a talented group of musicians."
- Fillmore Slim, THE NOISE
