Backstory:
Disfigured Landing formed in the sultry heart of Austin, Texas back in 2006. The four members, childhood friends Phillip “Flip” Taylor (lead vocals, guitar), Ronnie “Lockjaw” Williams (bass, vocals), Christopher “Topher” Lane (drums, vocals), and Reginald “Reggie” Patton (keys, vocals) were brought together by their shared love of music and a strong desire to make a mark on the vibrant Austin music scene. They started their journey playing in local bars and small venues, honing their skills and developing their unique sound. As the years passed, Disfigured Landing gradually began to build a dedicated following, drawn to their raw energy and emotional depth.
In 2010, Disfigured Landing was signed to a local independent record label, Jumping Jack Records. This opportunity provided them with the resources to produce their debut album, “Constellations on the Concrete”. The album was an instant success, catapulting them to national prominence and setting them on a path to becoming one of the most influential bands of the past decade.

(Em)Wander through the (C)night,

(Em)Can’t shake this feeling (C)that,
(G)Something’s about to (D)crack,
(Em)As I walk these empty (C)streets with (G)no one to (D)follow.

(G)Chasing shadows, (D)running in the dark,
(Em)Searching for a (C)spark,
(G)In the corners of this (D)ache inside my (Em)heart.(C)
(G)Chasing shadows, (D)lost within these walls,
(Em)Waiting for the (C)fall,
(G)But the shadows keep on (D)slipping (Em)through my (C)fingers.

Testimonial:
“Disfigured Landing has an uncanny ability to evoke something raw and real in their music, in a way that few bands can. Their songs have been a source of comfort and strength for me in some of the most challenging times of my life. The honesty in their lyrics, the passion in their performances, and the depth of their music has resonated with me on a level that no other band has. They’re not just a band to me – they’re a lifeline. My favorite song, “Chasing Shadows”, speaks to me on a profound level. It’s about searching for something, for hope, in the midst of darkness and uncertainty. That’s a sentiment I can relate to deeply. I will forever be a Disfigured Landing fan.”
