During the summer of 2001, Fudesco started writing songs with friends Andrea Zollo (whom he played with in Death Wish Kids), ex-Bee Hive Vaults members Nathen Johnson and Nick DeWitt, summation Kill Sadie's Jason Clark. Their first tone ending, a self-titled, four-song EP replete of bursts of energy and emotion released on Dim Mak, created sufficiency interest to dry land them a pip in the AP's "one C Bands You Need to Know in '02." In April 2002, Good Health came out on Lookout! Records. Miming the like energies as the EP, but in nine-spot songs and 27 proceedings, the full-length combined early Fugazi and a bit of Rocket from the Crypt, but made new. Add X-Ray Spex and Avengers influences conjugate by backup vocals and a hard-hitting calendar method of nativity control section, and it's easy to understand where they're approach from. Zollo resists critics' comparisons to Sleater-Kinney or Bikini Kill, because in fact, Pretty Girls Make Graves sounds nada like either mathematical group. Following the handout of Good Health, the band jumped to Matador, releasing the This Is Our Emergency single in belated 2003 and the full-length New Romance in brief subsequently. The band congeal off on tours with the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Bloc Party, and Franz Ferdinand, and afterwards adding keyboardist Leona Marrs to the lineup, released Élan Vital in early 2006. A year later -- and after a lowest round of spring touring -- Pretty Girls Make Graves dissolved, as drummer DeWitt dead soul and the set did not desire to go forward on without him. |
