The Graduate is an American indie/alternative rock band from Springfield, Illinois.

History

The Graduate formed in central Illinois in November 2005, after the breakup of two other local bands (Best of Winter from Quincy, Illinois and Jack from Springfield, Illinois) whose members began playing shows together.

In late 2006, "College Music Journal" featured The Graduate on the cover of the CMJ New Music Report for being the most added band to college radio stations during the week of December 3, 2006. 167 stations added their EP, "Horror Show" to their airplay lineup in total.

The Graduate released their debut full length album, "Anhedonia" on April 10, 2007. The band played a number of Warped Tour shows in the summer of 2007 to promote their new album as well as supporting acts such as The Audition and Spitalfield on two separate U.S. tours. The band then went on a short European/UK headlining tour which included playing the German music festival, Rock am Ring.

On November 27, 2007, The Graduate released "The Evergreen EP" as an early Christmas gift for fans. The EP includes acoustic versions of "Anhedonia" and "The City That Reads" from "Anhedonia" as well as a cover of "Blue Christmas" and a previously unreleased song "Gunslinger".
