The members include lead singer and guitarist Jake Holmes, bassist Ryan Patterson, drummer Tim Roberts, and keyboardist Alex Thompson. Initially, they were just playing garage music as a hobby. However, at a local talent show, they gained the attention of a music producer who saw their potential and signed them to a record label. They’ve had a steady rise in popularity, making a name for themselves in the Indie music scene with a unique blend of melodic hooks and potent lyrics.

Song Title: “Running Through Rain”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Running through rain, [D]chasing the sun,
[A]Catching the wind, [C]our journey has begun.
[G]Sidewalks beneath, [D]skyline above,
[A]Lost in the city, [C]that we both love.
(Chorus)
[G]We’re living every moment,
[D]Dancing in the light,
[A]Bound by a feeling,
[C]Running through rain tonight.
(Verse 2)
[G]Conversations in cafes, [D]laughter in the streets,
[A]Every corner has a memory, [C]where our stories meet.
[G]Underneath the shooting stars, [D]in the urban glow,
[A]We keep on running, [C]with nowhere to go.
(Chorus)
[G]We’re finding our own rhythm,
[D]In the city’s heartbeat,
[A]Invisible threads tie us together,
[C]While we’re running through rain, sweet and bitter.
