MORE ABOUT MICHALE GRAVES
Michale Graves is an internationally recognized artist who has been creating music and telling stories for over two decades. Before his 20th birthday, he was recruited to be the lead singer and primary songwriter of the legendary punk band, the Misfits. Graves faced an uphill battle of immense criticism while trying to fill the shoes of original Misfits vocalist, Glenn Danzig, but he injected the group with freshness, youth and energy which rewrote the history of the band in a way that even his sharpest critics found undeniable, reaching a whole new generation of music fans in the process.
Michale attributes his vocal capabilities to his time studying under Don Lawrence in New York City, who taught him to set himself apart with a powerful, rich, developed tenner that far surpassed the audience’s expectations.
Michale Graves kicked in the door of the music scene in 1995, wearing his trademark skull face paint, with a new take on the music he helped transform a punk band with a mythical reputation into a modern standout, performing nightly in front of packed areas and festivals. The videos for his songs “Dig Up Her Bones” and “Scream” directed by master of horror George A. Romero have been viewed over 30 million times. Michale appeared in Romero’s film Bruiser performing “Fiend Without a Face” which was also written by Graves specifically for the film.
During professional wrestling’s hottest period Graves along with his bandmates were seen every week by millions of viewers around the world as a regular attraction on WCW’s “Monday Nitro.”
After recording two albums with the Misfits, “American Psycho” with Geffen Records and “Famous Monsters” with Roadrunner Records, as well as touring the world to meet millions of fans, Graves quit the band to blaze his own path. Michale steadily built a reputation as the working-man’s punk rocker. He reintroduced himself to the scene with non-stop touring around the country before taking his new act worldwide.
By the mid-2000s Michale Graves could have rested on his laurels and looked back at a career full of self-made achievements, but he wanted something more. His passion motivated him to reach out, create a dialogue, and build platforms to start a conversation about culture, spirituality, and justice.
Michale started a website called ConservativePunk.com to educate his fans on the rights of the individual, totally breaking with the status quo of what was expected of contemporary artists who come from the world of coulter-culture entertainment. Graves also spoke out on behalf of the police and military, after having a brief stint in the US Marines himself.
This work got Graves mainstream attention once again, this time appearing opposite Ed Helms on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”
