Backstory: The Excitable Minority was born in the lively art scene of San Francisco, California. Its founding members, Harlan “Harley” O’Connor and Marla “Mars” Kincaid, met at an open mic night at a local café. Both shared a profound admiration for music’s power to communicate deep emotions and engage in social commentary. They quickly bonded over a shared love of alternative music and a desire to create something that was not only entertaining but also thought-provoking. Soon, Jessie “Jazz” Guzman and Eliot “Eli” Bingham joined the ensemble, adding their unique talents to the mix. With their diverse backgrounds, the band members bring a wealth of influences to their music, creating a unique sound that is both fresh and familiar.

Genre: Mix of Alternative Rock and Indie Pop

Title: “Invisible Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse)
Am Em G D
Here we are, in the quiet corners,
C G D Em
Fighting a war none can see,
Am Em G D
Invisible shadows, in the darkest alleys,
C G D Em
We’re the outcasts, but we’re free.

(Chorus)
Am Em G D
We are the Excitable Minority,
C G D Em
Louder than the silence around,
Am Em G D
Invisible shadows, we won’t be ignored,
C G D Em
We are here, and we’ve found our sound.

(Verse)
Am Em G D
Voices echoing, in hushed whispers,
C G D Em
We’re the poets of the unseen,
Am Em G D
A rebellion of thoughts, a symphony of dreams,
C G D Em
The Excitable Minority, we scream.

(Chorus)
Am Em G D
We are the Excitable Minority,
C G D Em
More than just the labels they gave,
Am Em G D
Invisible shadows, in a world of light,
C G D Em
Together we stand, brave.
