Graveyard of the Atlantic began when Dave Debany was playing bass (American Echoes) after a long hiatus away from music. When a rhythm section change left him solo, he continued working on songs and, with a renewed focus on guitar and singing, hit the studio in 2014 to officially kick off Graveyard of The Atlantic, named for the area of North Carolina's Outer Banks notorious for shipwrecks.

A few years and lineups later, Dave was joined by Adam Anderson and Mike Gonzales (both of The Daily Pravda) and David Deitch (aka DD2) on drums, and Graveyard of the Atlantic became a much more collaborative effort. A shared love of 90s emo and grunge, heavy shoegaze, and Def Leppard came together to create a modern and sometimes spacey take on indie rock with lyrics covering broken relationships and people, rampant anxiety, a few deaths, nuclear annihilation, and the struggle to not be consumed by it all.

An EP, Panic Room, introduced the band as a full songwriting unit in 2019. An eponymous EP, recorded separately at each band member’s home through the height of the pandemic in 2020, was released in 2021. And with drummer Ken Marcou (Daily Pravda, Kimone), Graveyard of the Atlantic completed their most focused production to date. Bigger, brasher, and capturing the energy Graveyard of the Atlantic brings to the stage, Exit Interview b/w Spinning Plates was recorded by and coproduced with Jim Wirt (Incubus, Fiona Apple) at Crushtone Studios in Cleveland, OH. It was released February 3, 2023.
