Backstory:

Massive Ban was formed by a group of best friends in the vibrant city of Melbourne, Australia in 2009. They started jamming in the garage of their shared house, and their eclectic mix of influences, combined with their individual talents and charismatic personalities, gave birth to a unique sound, a fusion of alt-rock and folk music. The band’s name was inspired by their initial struggle to get gigs, due to their unconventional sound and unruly behavior, earning them a temporary “ban” from local venues. However, their persistence, talent, and dedication to their music helped them to earn a loyal and passionate fanbase, and eventually, recognition from the music industry.

Genre: Alternative Rock / Folk Fusion

Title: “Voices in the Mist”

Full song lyrics:

(VERSE 1)
Am Em
Wandering through the hazy night,
Dm Am
Voices whispering, outta sight.
Em Am
Lost souls reaching out for light,
Dm Am
In the silence, we ignite.

(CHORUS)
F C
Voices in the mist,
G Am
Haunted melody’s tryst.
F C
In the echo of our past,
G Am
The echoes that will last.

(VERSE 2)
Am Em
A carousel of dreams undone,
Dm Am
Beneath the ever-setting sun.
Em Am
Our song has only just begun,
Dm Am
In the darkness, we become one.

(CHORUS)
F C
Voices in the mist,
G Am
Crying out in bliss.
F C
In the hollow of our heart,
G Am
We find a place to start.
