Backstory:
Stupid Complaint was formed in 2014 in the bustling city of Boston, Massachusetts. Five childhood friends, Jack Davis, Greg Kelp, Maddie Wilder, Frankie Gomez, and Rob Hodge decided to combine their musical talents and shared passion to create music that resonates with their generation. Initially, they started playing in local clubs and bars, their profound lyrics and hard-hitting music quickly garnered a lot of attention, and they soon started making waves in the local music scene.
Despite their initial struggles, the band’s perseverance eventually paid off when their debut album “Riding The Storm,” was picked up by a major record label. They’ve since toured around the United States and have even ventured overseas. Their commitment to making music with a purpose has not been dampened by their success, as they’ve continued to use their platform to address important societal issues.

Title: “Heartless Hallways”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1 – G, Em, C, D]
(G) Down the heartless hallways, (Em) we’ve walked a thousand times,
(C) Memories churning, (D) like a thousand old rhymes.
(G) Faces in the pictures, (Em) fading into gray,
(C) Our voices echo, (D) in the silence they lay.
[Chorus – G, Em, C, D]
(G) Heartless hallways, (Em) echoing our past,
(C) Shouts of laughter, (D) that didn’t last,
(G) Heartless hallways, (Em) full of broken dreams,
(C) Whispering tales, (D) of endless screams.
[Verse 2 – G, Em, C, D]
(G) Shadows growing longer, (Em) as the sun begins to fall,
(C) The echo of your footsteps, (D) is the loudest call.
(G) Amidst the quiet chaos, (Em) and the haunting dread,
(C) Our story, (D) in the silence, is read.
[Chorus – G, Em, C, D]
(G) Heartless hallways, (Em) echoing our past,
(C) Shouts of laughter, (D) that didn’t last,
(G) Heartless hallways, (Em) full of broken dreams,
(C) Whispering tales, (D) of endless screams.

Laura’s Testimonial:
“Stupid Complaint isn’t just my favorite band because of their music; it’s their message that resonates with me. Their lyrics speak about realities of life that many artists shy away from. Every song is like a raw, honest conversation and it feels like they’re speaking directly to me. “Heartless Hallways” specifically helped me through a tough time in my life. Their music has a certain comforting familiarity that I’ve found nowhere else. They don’t just play music, they tell stories, and there’s always something incredibly powerful about that.”
