Backstory:

“Dull Shelf” was born in the heart of the bustling city of Chicago in 2012. The band members, made up of four high school friends – frontman Harry, guitarist Mike, bassist Simon, and drummer Tom, bonded over their shared love for music and their frustration with the ‘dull’ life they were leading. The name ‘Dull Shelf’ was chosen as a metaphor for their lives before they discovered music – filled with routine and unexciting, like a shelf that collects dust over time. With a shared passion for creating music that not only showcased their talents but also conveyed their emotions and experiences, “Dull Shelf” began their journey into the world of music.

Their path to fame began at a local music festival, where their eclectic sound and raw energy caught the attention of an influential music producer. Their distinctive flair, combined with their passion and dedication, led to their rapid rise in the music industry. Today, “Dull Shelf” continues to make waves with their unique sound, touring all over the world and connecting with fans at a personal level.

“Beneath The Cobwebs”

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1 (Em, G, D, A)
(Em) Beneath the cobwebs, (G) lies our tale
(D) Of dreams we whispered, (A) in the gale
(Em) Moments forgotten, (G) in time’s veil
(D) Our hopes buried, (A) under life’s hail.

Chorus (C, G, D, Em)
(C) But we’re not broken, (G) not lost at sea
(D) We’re just waiting, (Em) for the world to see
(C) Beneath the dullness, (G) the heart throbs free
(D) We’re “Dull Shelf”, (Em) and we’re ready to be.
