The Graduate To Release New Album August 31st

"Only Every Time" To Be Band's Razor & Tie Debut
Atmospheric rock band The Graduate will release their new album, Only Every Time, on August 31st. The album will be the first since the band signed to Razor & Tie in May 2010. Only Every Time was recorded in Baltimore where they worked with Brian McTernan, who produced several of the tracks that resulted in The Graduate's signing to Razor & Tie.

The album will be released August 31st at retailers nationwide as well as all digital service providers. Vocalist Corey Warning expressed his view on the album when he said, "We do see this album as an evolution of sorts. I think about bands that make the same record over and over again, and it has to be boring for them - and even more for the listener. We made sure we didn't do that on this record." While Only Every Time has the atmospheric feel for which The Graduate is known, it is definitely a different album than anything they have previously recorded.

Produced by Brian McTernan, who has previously worked with artists such as Thrice, Circa Survive, and Cave In, Only Every Time was recorded at McTernan's Baltimore based studio, Salad Days Studio. Throughout the recording process, the idea of loneliness and being lost was consistently coming up, which is how the intriguing album artwork came to fruition. Artists Josh Kenyon and Colby Nichols, known as Jolby, discussed the feelings of being lost with Corey and came up with an icon that they felt represented the overall identity and feel of the album.

The Graduate will hit the road once again this August for a month of dates with The Bigger Lights. They will then join Ludo, off of Razor & Tie Music Publishing's roster, for a two month nationwide tour throughout September and October kicking off in Chicago on September 9th and ending in Milwaukee on October 15th.

Formed in 2005, The Graduate is Tim Moore (drums), Corey Warning (vocals), Matt Kennedy (guitar/keys), Max Sauer (guitar), and Jared Wustenberg (bass). Through constant touring, playing close to 400 shows in a two year period, including rock festivals Lollapalooza, The Warped Tour, Bamboozle, and German rock festival Rock am See, the band has created a solid following.
