New Jersey-based indie-rock group Graduation Speech is again making waves as they gear up to launch their upcoming EP, Arcane Feelings.
The band, featuring members from renowned groups Aspiga and Crucial Dudes, has signed with Arizona indie label Protagonist Music to bring fans a six-song collection set to release on Friday, Mar. 1st.
The lead single from the EP, “No Confidence,” is a powerful introduction to Graduation Speech’s evolution from a traditionally solo project to a full-fledged rock band. The pulsating and swaying track captures the essence of the group’s energetic live performances.
Kevin Day, a key member of Graduation Speech, shared his enthusiasm for the transformation: “Since 2022, the four of us have been having a blast playing out live as a band, so we wanted to capture some of that magic in the studio since most of the previous Graduation Speech releases have been more of a solo effort.”
Fans eager to taste the new sound can stream “No Confidence” now on Chorus.FM. The single will be available on all major streaming platforms starting Friday, Jan. 19th.
