Soft Kill Tickets

Soft Kill is a Portland-based project that has forged a distinct path through post-punk revival, darkwave, garage, and shoegaze textures. Since forming in 2010, core figure Tobias Grave has steered the sound, with live collaborators like Nicole Colbath contributing electronics along the way. The band’s music traverses moody atmospheres and melodic hooks, earning praise from outlets such as BrooklynVegan and Treble for its somber yet gripping approach. Soft Kill’s steady output reflects a commitment to fearless, genre-defying songwriting that remains accessible to new listeners and longtime fans alike.

On stage and in the studio, Soft Kill thrives on tension and atmosphere—whether in intimate rooms or larger venues. Fans can expect immersive live shows that highlight Grave’s songwriting and the evolving textures provided by rotating collaborators.

Soft Kill’s discography showcases a progression from the early, intimate iterations of An Open Door (2011) toward more expansive modern releases like Escape Forever (2024) and Canary Yellow (2022), all released across Cercle Social Records and earlier on Profound Lore. Notable collaborations include the 2016 track featuring Mark Burgess of The Chameleons on Choke, and critically acclaimed production on Savior (2018) with Ben Greenberg. Recent releases such as Dead Kids, R.I.P. City (2020), Premium Drifter (2020), Not Quite Dracula Music (2021), and Live At The Crystal Ballroom (2021) highlight the project’s ongoing creative vitality.
