Backstory:
Annual Toothbrush was formed in the small town of Greenville, Ohio, in the summer of 2006. The band’s members, consisting of lead singer Chaz, drummer Lenny, guitarist Red, and bassist Ace, were high school friends who decided to embark on a musical journey together. The name ‘Annual Toothbrush’ came from an inside joke regarding their shared dentist who recommended changing toothbrushes once a year.
The band started out by playing at local pubs and house parties, before getting their big break when they won the local “Battle of the Bands” event. Their unique sound and charismatic performances earned them a loyal fanbase and a record deal. Since then, Annual Toothbrush has toured nationwide and released three studio albums, each one more successful than the last.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[A] Woke up this morning, [D] feeling blue,
[E] Another day, another [A] thing to do.
[D] Looked in the mirror, [E] saw my reflection,
[A] Time for change, [D] new direction.
(Chorus)
[A] Brush it off, [D] let it go,
[E] Life’s a journey, [A] enjoy the show.
[D] Don’t dwell on the past, [E] look to the sky,
[A] With each sunrise, [D] let your spirit fly.
(Verse 2)
[A] Walking down the street, [D] feeling the breeze,
[E] Smiling at strangers, [A] feeling at ease.
[D] Remembering the times, [E] when things were tough,
[A] Look where we are now, [D] it’s enough.
(Chorus)
[A] Brush it off, [D] let it go,
[E] Life’s a journey, [A] enjoy the show.
[D] Don’t dwell on the past, [E] look to the sky,
[A] With each sunrise, [D] let your spirit fly.
(Bridge)
[F#m] When the world feels heavy, [D] got to rise above,
[E] Hold on to the good, [D] embrace the love.
(Chorus)
[A] Brush it off, [D] let it go,
[E] Life’s a journey, [A] enjoy the show.
[D] Don’t dwell on the past, [E] look to the sky,
[A] With each sunrise, [D] let your spirit fly.

“I’ve been following Annual Toothbrush since their early pub days. Their music is like a breath of fresh air in a world filled with recycled pop. Not only are their songs catchy, but they also have meaningful lyrics that resonate with me. I relate to their songs on a personal level, and they’ve helped me through some tough times. They aren’t just musicians, they’re storytellers, and their story is one of resilience and hope. For me, Annual Toothbrush isn’t just a band; they’re a beacon of positivity in a world that sometimes seems too dark. That’s why they will always be my favorite band.”
