Backstory:
Fat Throne was formed in the summer of 2008, in the suburbs of San Francisco, California. The band was initially a garage project of childhood friends – lead vocalist and guitarist Jake ‘JJ’ Johnson, drummer Kenny ‘K2’ Kowalski, bassist Mikey ‘Mongoose’ Monroe and keyboardist Lily ‘Liquid’ Lockhart. The band’s unique name was inspired by their favorite show, Game of Thrones, and their shared love of cheesy pizza. After years of playing in their garage and local venues, they garnered the attention of a renowned music producer at one of their gigs who signed them to an indie record label.
The band had a humble beginning but quickly rose to fame with their debut album ‘Beneath the Cheesy Crust,’ which hit the billboard charts. The band was known for their high energy performances, intricate melodies, and relatable lyrics. Their honest and raw musical narratives resonated with many listeners, quickly turning them into a household name in the rock world.

Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
(Em) Waking up to a (G) pepperoni sunrise,
(D) Slices of dreams (A) lying by my side.
(Em) Cold box of reality, (G) cheesy delight,
(D) Taste of yesterday’s (A) wild, wild night.
[Chorus]
(C) Pepperoni sunrise, (G) you’re my sweet surprise,
(D) Leftovers from a moment, (A) frozen in time.
(C) With each bite I take, (G) memories awake,
(D) Oh, pepperoni sunrise, (A) you’re my lifeline.
[Verse 2]
(Em) Crispy edges of (G) our broken vows,
(D) Melted promises (A) under the cloudy shroud.
(Em) Savoring the moments, (G) till the last bite,
(D) Of this pepperoni (A) morning light.
[Chorus]
(C) Pepperoni sunrise, (G) you’re my sweet surprise,
(D) Leftovers from a moment, (A) frozen in time.
(C) With each bite I take, (G) memories awake,
(D) Oh, pepperoni sunrise, (A) you’re my lifeline.
[Outro]
(Em) So here’s to the nights, (G) and our pizza fights,
(D) Under the pepperoni (A) sunrise light.
