Backstory:
Formed in 2012 in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, Annual Toe began as a group of school friends known for their eccentric choice of band name. The name ‘Annual Toe’ came from a weird tradition the group had where they would take a barefoot picture of their feet once a year, signifying how they’ve grown and come together as a band. The band found its identity through a shared love for unconventional music, and their bond was forged in the creative fires of the Brooklyn’s vibrant music scene. With years of successful gigs at local pubs, they finally managed to record their first album in 2015, a moment that marked the beginning of their remarkable journey.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[E]Walking down the [A]streets, with [D]broken dreams,
[G]Can’t remember [A]when we were, more than [E]teens.
[A]Sharing laughs and [D]dreams, on [G]Brooklyn’s streets,
[E]Our friendship [A]stronger than, [D]steel and concrete.
(Chorus)
[D] With broken strings, but whole [G]hearts,
[E]We found our sound, in [A]music and arts.
[D]Annual Toe, we’ve come [G]so far,
[E]Chasing dreams, guided by [A]Northern Star.
(Verse 2)
[E]Strumming raw emotions, [A]on old guitars,
[D]On local stages, under [G]city’s stars.
[E]No crowd too small, [A]no gig too big,
[D]We found our place, in [G]music’s gig.
(Chorus)
[D]With broken strings, but whole [G]hearts,
[E]We found our sound, in [A]music and arts.
[D]Annual Toe, we’ve come [G]so far,
[E]Chasing dreams, guided by [A]Northern Star.
