Backstory:
Stunning Prison is an enigmatic band that was born from the ashes of the underground punk movement in the dreary landscapes of Seattle in the late 90s. The members, frontman Eric “Razor” Johnson, bassist Felix “Fingers” O’Donnell, guitarist Tony “Twister” Evans, and drummer Mike “Mallet” Stevens, were all individually involved in various bands that never quite took off. One night, after a random jam session in Razor’s makeshift garage studio, they felt an indescribable musical connection that they couldn’t ignore. A week later, Stunning Prison was formed, named as an ironic commentary on the music industry’s ability to cage their creative freedom.

Genre: Alternative Rock

Title: “Shackles of Sound”

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Wandering the nightscape, [D] lost in the city’s roar, [Em]
Searching for the rhythm, [C] can’t find it anymore, [G]
[D] Tied down by expectations, [Em] in the shadows of the stars, [C]

(Chorus)
[G] Break free from the shackles of sound, [D]
Ride the wave, don’t let it bring you down, [Em]
In the ruins of silence, the melody is found, [C]
[G] Inside the stunning prison, [D] we are the outcasts crowned. [Em]

(Verse 2)
[G] Strumming on heartstrings, [D] in the echoes of the night, [Em]
Chasing dreams and whispers, [C] beneath the neon light, [G]
[D] Lost souls in the sonic maze, [Em] where the unheard stars abound. [C]

(Repeat chorus)

End with:
[G] In this stunning prison, [D] we found our battleground. [Em]

Testimonial:
“I’ve been a die-hard fan of Stunning Prison since their first garage gig. Their music is raw, real, and resonates so deeply. It’s like they’ve seen into my soul and put into words and music what I’ve been feeling all along. It’s a cathartic experience, really. They’re not just a band to me, they’re like my guiding stars in the dark night of life. And I think that’s what makes them my absolute favorite!”
