Grave Secrets’ latest release, “Fuck Shit Up,” is a fiery anthem that perfectly captures the raw, simmering frustration of life in Los Angeles. Vocalist Vinny Morales’ passionate delivery channels the collective anger and resentment felt in a city obsessed with superficiality and fame-chasing. Drawing inspiration from bands like PUP, Fucked Up, Drug Church, and Joyce Manor, this track is a visceral expression of rebellion. This upcoming debut album, “Till Your Lungs Fall Out…,” promises an exciting range of emotions, as seen in their earlier releases “Mood Ring” and “Bad Blood.” “Mood Ring” showcases Fest-punk influences with moments reminiscent of bands like Citizen and Title Fight, while “Bad Blood” is a slow-core headbanger that explores the sacrifices made in pursuit of dreams.

What sets Grave Secrets apart is their unique perspective, growing up Latino in the vast landscape of Los Angeles. This blend of influences, coupled with their undeniable talent, has propelled them beyond the city limits, as they embark on a tour with Wiretap Records label mates Bed. In a musical landscape saturated with conformity, Grave Secrets’ “Fuck Shit Up” stands out as a rebellious and authentic anthem that speaks to the frustrations of a generation seeking meaning in a city obsessed with clout. Keep an eye out for their debut album, dropping on October 27, and catch them on tour starting October 29 for an unforgettable live experience. This is a band that’s unafraid to break the mold and make their mark in the alt-punk scene.
