Backstory:

Useless Survey is a group of four college dropouts – Max (lead vocalist), Ollie (bass guitarist), Jake (drummer) and Theo (lead guitarist). They met at a university in a statistics class where they were all failing, hence the name “Useless Survey”. The professor used to say their group work was as effective as a useless survey. Instead of being offended, they embraced it, laughing off their academic shortcomings while finding solace in their combined love for music. They started jamming in their dorm rooms and slowly, Useless Survey turned from a sarcastic joke into a creative outlet none of them had ever dreamed of. After dropping out of college, they moved into a dingy apartment, surviving on noodles and dreams, and forging an unconventional path to their strange yet compelling musical journey.

Genre:

Useless Survey falls under the umbrella of Alternative Rock with a unique blend of Grunge and Punk Rock elements.

Title:

“One More Statistic”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] I’m just a number, [Em] in your eyes
[A] Another failure, [D] another disguise
[G] I’m not your experiment, [C] not your guinea pig
[F] I’m more than your [G] useless survey, my friend, my friend

(Chorus)
[C] We are more than [D] One More Statistic
[G] Not just numbers, [C] we’re strategic
[F] We are dreams that [G] won’t be dismissed
[D] We are more, we are more than this

(Verse 2)
[C] Freedom’s our hypothesis, [Em] we test it every day
[A] Sampling life, [D] in every possible way
[G] We reject your null, [C] we’re significant
[F] We’re more than your [G] useless survey, my friend, my friend

(Chorus)
[C] We are more than [D] One More Statistic
[G] Not just numbers, [C] we’re strategic
[F] We are dreams that [G] won’t be dismissed
[D] We are more, we are more than this
