Featured Recording Artist
Graveyard Boulevard
Graveyard Boulevard (the brainchild of founder Abby Normal) is finally calling it quits after 20+ years, numerous LP’s and four recordings here at Catalyst. “Will Will Wither” has appearances by many of the band’s former members, spanning their entire career. Produced by Rob Tavaglione (including synths on this track).
Update … the band has reformed with two new members and has begun doing shows again, as well as recorded three new songs here at Catalyst!
