Backstory:
Athletic Declaration is the brainchild of high school buddies Jim “Jax” Jackson and Derek “Deke” Keaton. The duo first bonded over their mutual love for soccer and soon discovered a shared passion for music. They began playing local gigs in their hometown of San Diego, California and quickly drew attention for their energetic performances and relatable lyrics. Their big break came when a scout for an indie music label attended one of their shows and was impressed by their raw talent and charisma. From there, they released their debut album and began a journey that would take them from local bars to sold-out arenas across the country.
Genre:
Athletic Declaration is known for their infectious blend of pop-punk and alternative rock. Their music resonates with listeners for its anthemic choruses, catchy melodies, and emotional depth.

(Verse 1)
[C] You and me, we [G] were always on the [Am] run,
Chasing dreams under a [F] fading sun.
[C] In this town, we [G] found our freedom,
With [Am] every echo of the [F] stadium.
(Chorus)
[C] Rise up, [G] let your voice [Am] carry,
[F] Through the night and into the morning.
[C] Hear the roar, the [G] stadium echoes,
[Am] We’re not lost, we’re just [F] exploring.
(Verse 2)
[C] We found love [G] in the bleachers,
In [Am] melodies and [F] worn-out speakers.
[C] The sound of [G] our youthful rebellion,
In [Am] every word we’re [F] yellin’.
(Chorus)
[C] Stand tall, [G] let your heart [Am] carry,
[F] Through the fights and the glory.
[C] Hear the cheer, the [G] stadium echoes,
[Am] We’re not alone, we’re [F] soaring.
(Bridge)
[C] From the pitch to the [G] spotlight,
[Am] We’ve come so far, but it [F] feels just right.
[C] This is our [G] athletic declaration,
[Am] Our anthem, our [F] elation.
(Chorus)
[C] Rise up, [G] let your voice [Am] carry,
[F] Through the night and into the morning.
[C] Hear the roar, the [G] stadium echoes,
[Am] We’re not lost, we’re just [F] exploring.
