Backstory:
Emerging from the artistic melting pot of Portland, Oregon, in 2010, “Outlandish Allocation” was the brainchild of lead vocalist and guitarist, Jack ‘Jax’ Sanders and drummer, Brian ‘Sticks’ Matthews. Their love for music and unique styles led them to experiment with different sounds and lyrics, resulting in the formation of a band that would soon take the music world by storm. Joined by bassist Ava ‘Bass Queen’ Peterson and keyboardist, Tom ‘Keys’ Miller, the band was complete and ready to challenge the status quo of the industry.

Their journey began in local gigs and festivals around the city, slowly gaining a decent fanbase with their distinct sound. Their breakthrough came in 2012 with an unexpected invitation to perform at the prestigious SXSW festival. Since then, Outlandish Allocation has continued to push boundaries, earning a reputation for their deep, thoughtful lyrics and their unique blending of different musical styles.

Full Song lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Em – C – G – D
(Em)Walking down the (C)alley of dreams, (G)echoes in the (D)void
(Em)Trying to decipher (C)what it all (G)means, (D)truths we can’t avoid

[Chorus]
C – G – D – Em
(C)Echoes in the void, (G)whispering my name
(D)Life’s a Polaroid, (Em)captured in a frame

[Verse 2]
Em – C – G – D
(Em)Memories of love (C)lost and found, (G)etched upon the (D)walls
(Em)In the silence, (C)hear the sound, (G)answering life’s (D)calls

[Chorus]
C – G – D – Em
(C)Echoes in the void, (G)painting tales of grace
(D)In our hearts, we hoisted, (Em)love we can’t replace

[Ending]
Em – C – G – D – Em
(Em)So we wander (C)through the echoes, (G)lost in the (D)void
(Em)Seeking answers (C)in the shadows, (G)by memories (D)destroyed
