Springfield IL, United States (2005 – 2011)

The Graduate was an American indie/emo band from Springfield, Illinois.

The Graduate formed in central Illinois in November 2005, after the breakup of two other local bands (Best of Winter from Quincy, Illinois and Jack from Springfield, Illinois) whose members began playing shows together. Lead singer Corey Warning said of the band’s name, “None of us graduated from college. Well, we all graduated from high school, but none of us from college, so the name’s kind of ironic. ” The band independently released an EP entitled Horror Show in April 2006, and toured nationally with bands such as Jack’s Mannequin, The Audition, The Junior Varsity, Punchline, Waking Ashland, and Secondhand Serenade.

In late 2006, College Music Journal featured The Graduate on the cover of the CMJ New Music Report for being the most added band to college radio stations during the week of December 3, 2006. 167 stations added their EP, Horror Show to their airplay lineup in total. On April 6, 2007, Spin named The Graduate its Band of the Day.

The Graduate released their debut full length album, Anhedonia on April 10, 2007. The band played a number of Warped Tour shows in the summer of 2007 to promote their new album as well as supporting acts such as The Audition and Spitalfield on two separate U.S. tours. They also played at Lollapalooza that year. The band then went on a short European/UK headlining tour which included playing the German music festival, Rock am See.
