Soft Kill is an American post-punk band that emerged from the vibrant underground music scene of Portland, Oregon. Formed in 2010, the group has garnered a dedicated following through their melancholic yet melodically rich sound that channels the angst and introspection of classic 80s post-punk with a modern twist. The band's lineup has evolved over the years but has consistently revolved around the creative core of Tobias Grave, whose introspective lyrics and emotive vocal delivery define Soft Kill's poignant aesthetic.

Known for their prolific output and the emotionally charged nature of their music, Soft Kill has carved out a distinctive place in the contemporary post-punk landscape. With their most recent releases like "Metta World Peace", "Veil of Pain", and "Molly", they continue to extend their discography, offering tracks that blend atmospheric guitar work with synth-laden undertones and Grave's haunting vocal style. Their songs such as "Another Nightmare" and "Canary Yellow" showcase the band's ability to weave narratives of loss, longing, and resilience, while tracks like "Congratulations Text" and "Magic Garden" demonstrate the band-wide ethic of sonic exploration, pushing the boundaries of their genre with each new release. As Soft Kill continues to tour and create, they leave an indelible mark on the hearts of listeners with their raw, emotive music that speaks to the sheer complexity of human emotion.
