1. Backstory:
Bruised Suggestion was formed in the gritty basements of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2012. The band members, a motley crew of childhood friends – Steve ‘Raven’ Reilly (lead vocals/guitar), Ryan ‘Rusty’ Ruston (bass), Matt ‘Maverick’ Malone (drums), and Tom ‘Tempest’ Travers (keyboard), initially played cover songs in local bars and pubs. After an impromptu jam session one night, they realised their synergy could create something profound. They began writing their own songs and developing a unique sound that resonated with the city’s vibrant underground music scene. Their raw, emotionally charged performances, coupled with their genuine friendship, attracted a loyal fanbase that grew steadily and organically, and soon, Bruised Suggestion was a household name in Philly’s alternative rock scene.

4. Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Beneath the crimson sky, she dances in the rain,
Her laughter echoes in my heart, easing my pain.
With her leather jacket and her fiery mane,
In this twisted love story, there’s no room for the sane.
[Chorus]
Our love’s a bruised suggestion, a whispered goodnight,
Through shadows and silhouettes, under the pale moonlight.
Can’t escape this obsession, can’t win this fight,
In our twisted love story, love’s a beautiful blight.
[Verse 2]
Lost in the city maze, chasing her ghost,
In a sea of neon lights, she draws me close.
With her smoky eyes and her silvered prose,
In this twisted love story, only chaos she sows.
[Chorus]
Our love’s a bruised suggestion, a whispered goodnight,
Through shadows and silhouettes, under the pale moonlight.
Can’t escape this obsession, can’t win this fight,
In our twisted love story, love’s a beautiful blight.
[Bridge]
Caught in her wildfire, I burn and I yearn,
In the book of our love, there’s no page left to turn.
Drunk on her absence, for her touch I yearn,
In this twisted love story, there’s no love left to spurn.
[Chorus]
Our love’s a bruised suggestion, a whispered goodnight,
Through shadows and silhouettes, under the pale moonlight.
Can’t escape this obsession, can’t win this fight,
In our twisted love story, love’s a beautiful blight.
[Outro]
In this twisted love story, under stars burning bright,
Our love’s a bruised suggestion, fading into the night.
