Backstory:

Attached Trade has its roots nestled deep in the heart of Austin, Texas. The band formed in 2008 when Jason Hargrove, a struggling songwriter found himself in a local dive bar, meeting his future bandmates, drummer Darren Thompson and bassist Peter O’Connell. As the night grew darker and the drinks stronger, they found that their musical tastes and ambitions aligned. Soon, they were jamming together in Darren’s garage, and the foundation of Attached Trade was set.

The band spent their early years performing at local venues and seeking out their sound. They gained a reputation for their electrifying performances and deeply introspective lyrics. After a few years of refining their style and lineup, they added keyboardist Rebecca Scott. With her virtuoso talent, the band’s sound evolved into something unique and captivating. They released their first album in 2012 and quickly emerged as one of Austin’s most promising indie rock bands.

“Chain of Change”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Staring at the mirror, [G] reflections on the wall,
[Am] Dreams of revolution, [Em] rise before they fall.
[F] We’re the Attached Trade, [C] in this world so strange,
[G] Our melodies are written, [Em] for a chain of change.

(Chorus)
[F] We’re bound by [C] rhythm,
[G] attached by the [Em] soul.
[F] In a world so [C] vast,
[G] music makes us [Em] whole.

(Verse 2)
[C] Waking to the sunrise, [G] painting our own dawn,
[Am] Lyrics form a bind, [Em] a connection that is strong.
[F] With the strings of our guitar, [C] we draw the exchange,
[G] Singing for the world, [Em] for a chain of change.

(Chorus)
[F] We’re bound by [C] rhythm,
[G] attached by the [Em] soul.
[F] In a world so [C] vast,
[G] music makes us [Em] whole.

(Bridge)
[Am] We’re the Attached Trade, [G] we bear no grudge,
[Em] With every strum, [F] we won’t budge.

(Chorus)
[F] We’re bound by [C] rhythm,
[G] attached by the [Em] soul.
[F] In a world so [C] vast,
[G] music makes us [Em] whole.

(Outro)
[C] In this world of ours, [G] so vast and strange,
[Am] We’re the Attached Trade, [Em] singing for a chain of change.
