Backstory:
Corrupt Meal was formed in the urban sprawl of London in 2018, when lead singer and guitarist Adam Tinsley stumbled upon a like-minded group of musicians playing under a bridge. Adam was captivated by the raw talent and unique sound of the group and proposed they join forces. The other members – drummer Oliver Wright, bassist Emily Nixon, and keyboardist Liam Baker, agreed, and thus, Corrupt Meal was born. Since then, the band has garnered a cult following through their eccentric performances and daring fusion of musical genres.
Genre:
Corrupt Meal’s music can best be described as a blend of alternative rock and electronic music, with occasional elements of garage punk. The band’s unique sound is characterized by heavy guitar riffs, thumping basslines, pounding drums, and the alluring, haunting vocals of Adam.
Title:
One of Corrupt Meal’s most notable songs is titled “Chasing Shadows”.
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Running down the [C] alleyway, [G] breathing in the [C] smoky haze,
[D] Lost in the [G] cityscape, [D] swallowed by its [C] vivid ways.
(Verse 2)
[G] Shadows looming [C] everywhere, [G] illusions in the [C] streetlights’ glare,
[D] In the chaos, we [G] find our peace, [D] in the noise, we [C] find our solace.
(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows, [C] running in circles,
[D] Lost in the rhythm of the [G] city’s nocturnal,
[D] We are the dreamers, the [G] night-time dwellers,
[C] Corrupt Meals, the [D] urban story tellers.
(Verse 3)
[G] Steel and concrete [C] under our feet, [G] under the neon [C] sky,
[D] We sing our songs, [G] we play our beat, [D] under the moon’s [C] watchful eye.
(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows, [C] running in circles,
[D] Lost in the rhythm of the [G] city’s nocturnal,
[D] We are the dreamers, the [G] night-time dwellers,
[C] Corrupt Meals, the [D] urban story tellers.
