A couple of weeks ago, they joined fast-rising Finnish grindcore outfit Rotten Sound for a run of four dates that included a gig at the Joint in West Los Angeles on May 13th 2013. Before the start of the show, I had a chance to catch up with frontman John Strachan to talk about Early Graves&#8217; recent activities, the latest on The Funeral Pyre, vocals, record collection, and a few other things.
