Soft Kill from Chicago Illinois is the brainchild of Tobias Grave, making morose and infectious punk songs since 2011. Starting with the seminal"An Open Door" and including stand out records like 2016's "Choke" and 2020's Billboard chart topping "Dead Kids, R.I.P. City". Tobias struggle with addiction and loss have created a depth and emotional landscape often missing from the genre.
