Backstory:
In the bustling music scene of downtown Nashville, Tennessee, four friends with a shared love for music decided to create something revolutionary. They were all working in ordinary 9-to-5 jobs but felt a compelling urge to express their creative passions. Thus, Guilty Review was born in the fall of 2005. Comprising of Bailey Jones on vocals and rhythm guitar, Drew Mitchell handling lead guitar, Tony Perez on bass, and Ethan Stone behind the drums, the band found an immediate chemistry that translated into their unique sound. They started playing at local bars, and it wasn’t long before they caught the attention of a local producer who helped them cut their first album.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Driving down on Sunset Boulevard, [Em]underneath the city stars,
[C]Smoke and dreams in our old, [D]rusty car.
[G]Remember when we used to dream, [Em]Of love and all it’s endless themes,
[C]Now we’re just lost in the [D]stream.
(Chorus)
[G]Oh, Sunset Boulevard, [Em]we’ve come so far,
[C]Chasing dreams in our [D]old, rusty car.
[G]We’re broken, bruised but [Em]never scarred,
[C]Life’s a ride on [D]Sunset Boulevard.
(Verse 2)
[G]City lights and endless nights, [Em]Our hopes as high as these heights,
[C]Lost in the rhythm of [D]neon lights.
[G]Remember when we used to believe, [Em]In everything we could achieve,
[C]Now we’re just caught in the [D]breeze.
(Chorus)
[G]Oh, Sunset Boulevard, [Em]we’ve come so far,
[C]Chasing dreams in our [D]old, rusty car.
[G]We’re broken, bruised but [Em]never scarred,
[C]Life’s a ride on [D]Sunset Boulevard.

Sarah Johnson, a school teacher from Nashville, has been following Guilty Review since their beginning. According to Sarah, “Guilty Review’s music is not just about their original tunes and catchy lyrics. It’s a way of life. Their music is raw and real, it’s not afraid to show vulnerability. It speaks to me on a level that nothing else does. It’s like they’ve somehow managed to put my thoughts, my dreams, and my fears into words and music. The sheer authenticity and emotion in their music is what sets them apart for me. They are a true voice of our generation.”
