Backstory:
Courageous Grade started out as a group of high school friends from Seattle, Washington. They were all members of the school’s marching band, but quickly realized that their passion leaned more towards the creation of their own music than following the traditional compositions. With lead singer and bassist Marcus “MJ” Jameson, guitarist Jack “Stringz” West, and drummer Liam “Stickz” Fuller, Courageous Grade began to carve its own niche in the local music scene. Their first gig was in a small coffee shop, but word quickly spread about their unique sound, catching the attention of an indie record label that was willing to take a chance on the young band.
Genre:
Alternative Rock with hints of Indie and Pop.

“Brave New Step”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C
Waking up to the same old scene
G D
Looking for a change, somewhere in-between
Em C
Life’s a race, no finish line
G D
Just keep moving, till you find your sign
(Chorus)
Em C
Take a Brave New Step, don’t be afraid to fall
G D
Life is just a dance, will you answer the call
Em C
Toss away your fears, let your heart take the lead
G D
Courageous Grade, it’s the courage you need
(Verse 2)
Em C
A broken heart, a shattered dream
G D
Don’t let it stop you, just switch the theme
Em C
Every stumble and every scar
G D
They make you who you are
(Chorus)
Em C
Take a Brave New Step, don’t be afraid to fall
G D
Life is just a dance, will you answer the call
Em C
Toss away your fears, let your heart take the lead
G D
Courageous Grade, it’s the courage you need
