Retro Grave is a band initially based out of Illinois and now based in Portland, Maine. Formed in 2006, it is a solo project of one Jeff "Oly" Olson of Trouble and The Skull, among other projects. The project would release an eponymous EP in 2007, followed by a debut album in Again the next year. The project has performed live on a few occasions, mainly at festivals such as Days of The Doomed.
By the 2010s Retro Grave would re-locate to Maine, beginning work on a second studio album. In 2019 the band would release a digital single for "Beginning of Sorrows (Aspasia Remix)".[1] This single was made as a tribute to Aspasia 'Sia' Van Wyck, whom died in 2017.[2]
