There is more than one artist called Graves;
1) Greg Olin used to play in a band called York Roberts. Today, “Graves” is only subtly different from “The Graves”, the nomenclature which accompanied Olin’s debut Love Love Love. The evolution of the music and the moniker is somewhat telling. Like so many HUSH artists, Olin specializes in a songwriting style which can be reduced to its minimum components — vocal and guitar — and still work. But life is too short and friends/musicians are too plenty not to enhance the writing with a more traditional band sound: drums, bass, keys, horns, etc. With Yes Yes Okay Okay, Olin has discovered a perfect synthesis of intimate songwriting with enhanced, rule breaking instrumentation that one usually associates with the likes of Wilco and others. Perhaps more than ever, Olin’s music sounds like the man behind it: utterly sincere, slightly off kilter, instantly likable. In a way, stripping “The Graves” of “The” is an indicator of the systematic dismantling of pretension that is at work in these songs.
2) A horrorpunk band featuring Michale Graves (vocals, guitar), Dr. Chud (drums), Tom Logan (guitar) and Left Hand Graham (bass). They relased one album, Web Of Dharma (2002), before splitting up.

hah dudes messing up the shout box with arguments! back to the music. Graves is a pretty damn good band. they've been around for a while and are far from crappy. But this site doesn't hold the best of their material that much is true.

Who says i watch MTV ? I surely didn't. It's funny how folks like you always come up with things like MTV to try and win an argument. As if everyone watches that sad excuse for a music Tv station. On a side note, i agree with what your profile says. You're so full of shit, it should be a crime.

So, you've listened to over 18.000 songs. Does that change the fact you listen to those artists ? Also, i think if you'd ask who's more pop, Green Day or The Graves, they'd probably ask the WHO?. I agree though, Olin's work isn't crappy Pop. It's crappy Indy. Major difference.

Bah, i hate having to see Greg Olin's mug every time i play something from Graves. Also, @wooden_indian : As if your musical taste is any better. You listen to Snoop Dog and Kanye West, and YOU want to talk about having an ear for talent ? Someone should kick you off that pedestal you seem to be on and give you a reality check.
