CMJ: Graveyard Lovers, Arrows of Love, Bridges and Powerlines, Cosmicide, Ernest Ellis

Graveyard Lovers are a blues inspired, grunge rock band comprised of singer/guitarist Zach Reynolds and drummer Tricia Purvis. They formed in Brooklyn, NY in 2011 through a mutual love of the Blues and as a way to channel Zachs homesickness for his Louisiana upbringing. They quickly evolved however into something much more, incorporating indie rock and grunge influences into their sound as well as adding new members. They spent a year as a three piece with the help of bassist Orion Wainer and have now welcomed Zachs brother Joel Reynolds on second guitar to boost the live shows even more. Their debut full length "Dreamers" was released in September 2013 to much critical acclaim. Crave Online calling it a "hugely promising debut, carrying the torch of The Pixies, the White Stripes, Sonic Youth and your favorite indie grit Gods" adding "it's as if the best parts of the Saddle Creek family spent a Summer with the Pixies and burned their White Stripes records in a distancing ritual that only deepened the connection to some of the most viscerally passionate sounds of our time"
