Backstory:

‘Astonishing Bath’ was born out of the spontaneous convergence of four college roommates at the University of Bath in England. Originally, all four had pursued individual paths in the music industry, with Sam ‘Suds’ Sullivan as a classically trained violinist, James ‘Bubbles’ Baker with his deep roots in folk music, Mark ‘Foam’ Foster with aspirations in R&B, and Peter ‘Plug’ Plummer, an electronic music fanatic. One fateful night in late 2014, amidst the usual college antics, the guys found themselves in an impromptu jam session in their shared bathroom, due to its surprisingly excellent acoustics. The mix of their musical backgrounds resulted in a unique sound, and they decided to form a band, naming it ‘Astonishing Bath’, as a nod to their origin story.

Genre:

Indie Pop-Alternative with elements of Folk, R&B, Classical, and Electronic music.

Title:

“Plug and Play”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1 – D, A, G)
D
Just like the water, flowing free,
A
Found ourselves in harmony,
G
In this tile-castle, echoes of our dreams.

(Chorus – Bm, G, D, A)
Bm
We are the Astonishing Bath,
G
Born of laughter, music our path,
D
In this place of echoed mirth,
A
We found our worth.

(Verse 2 – D, A, G)
D
Suds on the strings, Bubbles on the keys,
A
Foam in the rhythm, Plug’s on the beats,
G
Underneath the shower, our symphony completes.

(Chorus – Bm, G, D, A)
Bm
We are the Astonishing Bath,
G
Washed in rhythm, devoid of wrath,
D
In this place of echoed mirth,
A
We found our rebirth.

(Outro – D, A, G, D)
D
Plug and Play, let the music stay,
A
In our Astonishing Bath, we sway.
G
Washed in chords, we’ll never stray,
D
For this is our musical fray.
