After several years of heavy touring with previous bands, these Springfield, IL natives have created quite a buzz and amassed a following that feels more like a family than a fan base. Formed in November 2005, The Graduate is a collaboration between long-time friends who have gained momentum in the Midwest indie circuit due to memorable songs, interactive live shows and friendly dispositions. This is their debut album, following an EP last year, produced by Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, Senses Fail, Thrice).
