Backstory:
Lustrous White was born in the grungy underground music scene of Seattle in 2012, formed by a group of childhood friends with a shared passion for music and a desire to make their voices heard. Lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Isaac Holster, bassist Eric Calhoun, lead guitarist Freddy Cochran, and drummer Finn O’Reilly, bonded over their love for alternative rock, blues, and sheer will to express themselves through music. The friends spent countless hours creating music in their basement, drawn together by the shared energy and passion that transcended the hustle and bustle of their daily lives.
Their rise to fame was a journey riddled with trials and tribulations. With each member working day jobs to sustain their music dreams, they spent their nights playing at local bars and clubs. Their raw energy and unabashedly honest lyrics resonated with the underground community, eventually earning them a loyal following. Their big break came with the release of their debut album in 2015, catapulting them into the mainstream music scene. The rest, as they say, is history.
Genre: Alternative Rock
Song Title: “Shards of Solitude”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Em] Wandering through these [G] empty halls,
[D] Memories echo, and [A] loneliness calls.
[Em] Trapped by the [G] echoes of you,
[D] Bound by the [A] lies that once were true.
(Chorus)
[C] Shards of solitude, [G] piercing through,
[D] Every thought, every [A] memory of you.
[C] I’m walking on, [G] broken and blue,
[D] Lost in the echoes, [A] in the shards of solitude.
(Verse 2)
[Em] Shadows dance upon the [G] wall,
[D] Silent whispers of our [A] fall.
[Em] Your voice, a [G] haunting refrain,
[D] An endless loop of [A] joy and pain.
(Chorus)
[C] Shards of solitude, [G] cutting deep,
[D] In my heart, your [A] secrets I keep.
[C] I’m bleeding out, [G] in my solitude,
[D] Drowning in echoes, [A] in the shards of solitude.
Favorite Fan: Sarah White
“I’ve been a fan of Lustrous White since their early days of performing in local bars in Seattle. Their music has a unique ability to connect with my emotions on a deep level. Isaac’s raw and powerful voice accompanied by Freddy’s guitar riffs, Eric’s bass, and Finn’s drums create a unique blend of music that is both entrancing and invigorating. The lyrics of their songs are incredibly honest and soulful, often expressing sentiments I struggle to articulate. “Shards of Solitude,” in particular, resonates with me deeply. It’s as if they’ve given a voice to my innermost feelings, serving as a comforting reminder that I’m not alone, even in my darkest moments. Lustrous White is more than just a band to me; they’re a beacon of light in the chaos of life.”
