Backstory:
Born out of the foggy streets of London in the mid-90s, Knobby Cough was formed by four friends with a shared love for music and a mutual distaste for the mundane. The band consists of charismatic lead vocalist and guitarist, Eddie ‘Knobs’ McVeigh, bassist Johnny ‘Cough’ Grange, beguiling keyboardist Sarah ‘Fuzz’ Harding and the ever-steady drummer, Mikey ‘Beat’ Hall. As teenagers, they would sneak into pubs and clubs, performing covers before they plucked up the courage to share their own material. Their talent was recognized by a record producer during an open mic one fateful night, and thus the journey of Knobby Cough began.
Facing an industry saturated with pop sounds and cookie-cutter bands, Knobby Cough chose to swim against the tide, embracing their unique blend of styles. Rooted in their shared love for blues, they wove in threads of indie rock, creating a sound that was entirely their own. Over the years, they have released five studio albums, each one delving into the different facets of their musical style and lyrical prowess.

Title:
‘Underneath a Cloudless Sky’
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em G
Wake up to a morning chill,
C G
Underneath a cloudless sky.
Em G
An empty canvas, a hollow thrill,
C G
Life’s palette passing by.
(Chorus)
D Em
Let’s paint our dreams tonight,
C G
Underneath a cloudless sky.
D Em
With hues of love and fight,
C G
Watch the world pass us by.
(Verse 2)
Em G
Solitude in the crowd,
C G
Underneath a cloudless sky.
Em G
Voices echo, loud and proud,
C G
Yet silence is our lullaby.
(Chorus)
D Em
Let’s paint our dreams tonight,
C G
Underneath a cloudless sky.
D Em
With hues of love and fight,
C G
Watch the world pass us by.
(Outro)
Em G
As we dream beneath the stars,
C G
Life’s canvas takes flight,
Em G
Underneath a cloudless sky,
C G
We find our beautiful night.
