Great name for a band
Scrawny Decline
The story
Scrawny Decline was born from the ashes of a small-town garage band in 2007. Frontman Jamie "Jazz" Turner and drummer Zach "Ziggy" Elliot were childhood friends from Wichita, Kansas. Tired of the slow pace of small-town life, they moved to Chicago to chase their dreams. After years of playing gigs in dingy bars, struggling with underemployment and nearly giving up, the duo met bassist Lena "Lenny" Bradley and guitarist Harry "Hank" Thompson at a local open mic night in 2013. The chemistry was instant, and Scrawny Decline was born.
Their music journey started with performing covers of their favorite bands at local bars and eventually creating their own music. They got their big break in 2016 when their track "Empty Streets" was picked up by a local radio station. From there, things snowballed, and Scrawny Decline started making waves in the indie music scene.
Scars of Yesterday
Verse 1 Am In the light of the morning, I see your face Em Fading memories in a quiet space F Old echoes whispering in my ear G Tales of love, tales of fear Verse 2 Am Beneath the scars of yesterday, we hide Em In the shadows, in the silence, we abide F Running from the ghosts that we used to be G Scrawny Decline, can't you see? Chorus Am Scars of yesterday, don't fade away Em In the echo of our past, we sway F In the music, in the rhyme G We find our solace, just in time Verse 3 Am Walking down these empty streets we roam Em Scrawny Decline, we're far from home F In the melody of a forgotten song G We find where our hearts belong Chorus Am Scars of yesterday, don’t fade away Em In the echo of our past, we sway F In the music, in the rhyme G We find our solace, just in time
