Backstory:
Leading Allocation was born out of the union of three quirky accountants from Chicago, Illinois, in early 2000. Ethan, Tom, and Danny – all working at the same accounting firm – bonded over a shared love of music and an insatiable desire to escape the humdrum of their daily work. After a few informal jam sessions in the local pub, the group realized they had a unique sound and chemistry. From that point on, they dedicated their nights and weekends to honing their talents and developing their musical identity, ultimately forming Leading Allocation.
Genre:
Indie Rock
Title:
“Debit the Blues”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – E, A, D, G)
In this city of skyscrapers and number crunching,
(A, E, G, D)
I’ve found a rhythm, a melody that’s worth punching.
(D, G, A, E)
Trading in the ledger for a six-string dream,
(E, A, D, G)
In corporate jungle, we found our redeeming theme.
(Chorus – A, E, G, D)
We debit the blues, credit the rock,
(D, A, E, G)
In the balance sheet of life, we’re the solid stock.
(E, A, D, G)
Living for the moments between nine to five,
(A, E)
In this band, we’ve found a way to thrive.
(Verse 2 – E, A, D, G)
Riding the rhythm, crunching the chords,
(A, E, G, D)
We’re making music that strikes resonating accords.
(D, G, A, E)
In the office by day, on the stage by night,
(E, A, D, G)
In this dual life, we’ve found our light.
(Chorus – A, E, G, D)
We debit the blues, credit the rock,
(D, A, E, G)
In the balance sheet of life, we’re the solid stock.
(E, A, D, G)
Living for the moments between nine to five,
(A, E)
In this band, we’ve found a way to thrive.
Favorite Fan:
Our favorite fan is Claire Watson, a fellow accountant who stumbled upon our music during a particularly stressful tax season. She says, “Leading Allocation is like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant environment. Their music has not only been my respite after long, taxing days but also an anthem of my existence. I relate to their lyrics, their journey, and their dream. They remind me that there’s more to life than numbers and balance sheets. They’re my favorite because they’re real, they’re relatable and they’re brilliant at what they do.”
