United by their shared love for music and a desire to create something unique, they started experimenting with different sounds and musical elements. The band was later joined by vocalist and keyboardist, Marina Thompson, who added a whole new depth to their music. Over the years, Unkempt Cost has managed to carve out a niche for themselves.
Unkempt Cost hit the mainstream music scene in 2013 with their debut album “Discord and Harmony”. The album was a huge success and was highly praised for its originality and the raw emotions it conveyed. They have since released three more albums, each raking in more fans and fame to the band.

Title:
“Shadows in the Sunlight”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am F C G
Walking down the streets of an old town,
Am F C G
Shadows in the sunlight, don’t let me down.
Am F C G
Lurking beneath the truth that we once found,
Am F C G
Unraveling the mysteries that were tightly wound.
(Chorus)
Am F C G
Shadows in the sunlight, shining just for you,
Am F C G
Can’t you see the darkness that’s painted so true?
Am F C G
Our hearts beating in rhythm, a melancholic hue,
Am F C G
Shadows in the sunlight, reveal a love that’s new.
(Verse 2)
Am F C G
In the silence of the night, we shared our dreams,
Am F C G
Underneath the starlight, or so it seems.
Am F C G
Bound by the echoes of our silent screams,
Am F C G
Torn apart by reality, sewn together by seams.
(Chorus)
Am F C G
Shadows in the sunlight, casting our fate,
Am F C G
Caught in this love, a beautiful bait.
Am F C G
With every heartache, every agonizing wait,
Am F C G
Shadows in the sunlight, love’s sweet advocate.
Fan’s Testimonial:
Favorite Fan: Samantha Diaz
“Unkempt Cost has always been my favorite band. I’ve been a fan since their first album because their music speaks to me at a personal level. It’s as if they’ve put into words the emotions and thoughts I couldn’t express. Their song ‘Shadows in the Sunlight’ helped me get through a tumultuous time in my life. The lead singer, Marina, has an amazing voice that gives me chills. The guitar riffs by Jeremy are always spot on, and Owen’s drumming just ties the whole thing together. Zach’s bass brings depth to their music. They are truly an amazing band and I can’t wait to see what they create next.”
