Last year Dig Two Graves released their debut EP, titled Deathwish. Recently DutchMetalManiac’s Tim van Velthuysen interviewed Dig Two Graves’ guitarist Jaybee and drummer Kenny.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, how are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: A little sleepy but I\u2019m alright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: I\u2019m doing wonderful, how are you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m fine, thanks. Can you tell us something about the history of Dig Two Graves?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: Me and Kenny have been trying to start a band forever, then I met Mike and asked him if he wanted to yell for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: It\u2019s true. We had a band in the 3rd grade when we met. We played Smoke on the Water<\/em> poorly and called it a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For people not knowing you (yet), how would you describe your music yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: A mix of progressive metal with a touch of atmospheric dream pop. Next album is a rock and roll album though so be on the lookout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: I play heavy guitar over pretty sounds. And then our singer screams on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When someone doesn’t know you yet and you can choose one of your songs to present yourself, which song would that be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: Definitely Wick<\/em>. I think it provides the best overall view of what we sound like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: Our old songs suck, our new songs are about to slap. But I guess Wick<\/em> or So Below<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Dig Two Graves unique?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: I think our most unique feature is all of the orchestration\/piano work Josh adds into basically all of our songs. My favorite moments are when the guitar is chugging or playing a heavy riff and there\u2019s melodic piano in the background. A perfect example is in the middle of Wick<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: Being so disgustingly good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any future plans you can already tell us something about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: We are working on our debut full length album and it is coming along very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: I was hoping to book tours and stuff but then the whole world got a flu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any upcoming gigs for Dig Two Graves? Maybe coming to The Netherlands?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: I actually have a lot of friends in The Netherlands. Shoutout Dom and Diana. I was in Amsterdam a few years ago. Would love to go back and play some music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: Nothing at the moment due to the pandemic but we are itching to get back out there. We may play there someday, who knows \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you think your life would be without music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: I honestly don\u2019t know what else I would be doing. Never had any other true passions I would want to follow and I like playing blast beats so it works out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: I honestly have no idea, it takes up most of my thoughts and energy. I\u2019d have to replace it with something I guess, but I have no idea what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice would you give to young and starting bands?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: Be prepared to play a couple shows where not many people show up. It can be hard when you are first starting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: Don\u2019t try too hard to sound like another band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your answers! Is there anything you want to say to DutchMetalManiac’s readers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenny: Thank you for having us! Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaybee: Yo shoutout Holland. Shoutout Arjen Robben\u2019s big bald head. Thanks for having us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
