Backstory:
Ill-Informed Circle was born in the bustling streets of Brooklyn, New York in 2013. The band’s founders, lead vocalist Jonny Rains and lead guitarist Sami Leeds, met entirely by chance in the eclectic record store, Vinyl Revivals. After an intense debate about the merits of blues over punk, they realized that their shared passion for music could be the foundation of something great. Leeds’ childhood friend, drummer Max Hoffman, and Rains’ cousin, bassist Oliver Rains, joined the nascent band, and Ill-Informed Circle was officially formed.
Their music journey started from playing in local bars and cafes to performing at festivals and major venues across the U.S. The band is known for their ironic name, reflecting the idea that they constantly push boundaries in their music, never limiting themselves to what is considered “standard” or “traditional.” They believe in the power of music to challenge perceptions, stimulate debate, and create conversations.

Title:
“Crossroads Conspiracy”
Song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am – G – F – C
In the city’s glow, under the neon lights,
We find our peace, in the dead of night.
Running from the truth, hidden in plain sight,
Crossroads conspiracy, our endless fight.
(Chorus)
G – D – Am – C
We are the Ill-Informed Circle, roaming through life,
Chasing shadows, cutting through strife.
We find solace in each other’s arms,
In this crazy world, we are each other’s charm.
(Verse 2)
Am – G – F – C
Walking these streets, we’re misunderstood,
Our music is our shield, in this concrete wood.
We might be ill-informed, yet we stand,
Against the crossroads conspiracy, hand in hand.
(Chorus)
G – D – Am – C
We are the Ill-Informed Circle, stronger together,
Carrying on, in any kind of weather.
In the face of the world, we’ll make our stand,
Against the crossroads conspiracy, we band.
(Bridge)
F – C – G – D
We won’t be silenced, we won’t be shamed,
Our music, our weapon, in this game.
Crossroads conspiracy, we’ll rise above,
With our ill-informed wisdom, we’ll show love.

Testimonial:
“I have been a hardcore fan of Ill-Informed Circle since their early days, when they were just playing at local bars. Their music, especially ‘Crossroads Conspiracy’, speaks to me on a personal level. Their lyrics about standing together and finding your own path in the face of adversity really hit home. Their music has been my rock during some tough times. Plus, they’re all such down-to-earth guys who genuinely care about their fans. That’s why Ill-Informed Circle is my favorite band.”
