Great name for a band
Masculine Promise
The story
Originating from the spirited town of Austin, Texas, Masculine Promise is a musical outfit that rose to prominence in the local music scene during the late 2000s. The band members, childhood friends, were once just a group of teenagers, jamming in their garage, dreaming of playing on a bigger stage. When lead vocalist and guitarist, Andy "Griff" Griffin, penned a heartfelt song about their collective journey and struggle, "Masculine Promise" was born. The song didn't only give the band its name but also gave a voice to their raw, emotionally charged performances that resonated with the audience on a personal level. This band is a testament to the power of passion, friendship, and the promise of masculinity in its truest form—resilience, courage, and integrity.
Dusty Roads
Verse 1 Em G I've been walking down these dusty roads, D A been searching for a place to call home. Em G My heart is heavy, my soul is worn, D A but I got a promise to keep before the dawn. Chorus C D A masculine promise, not a shallow boast, G Em To keep pushing on, to the last post. C D A masculine promise, more than words, G Em It's the courage in us, that soars like birds. Verse 2 Em G There's no stopping, no turning back, D A Even when the skies are pitch black. Em G We've got each other, we've got the will, D A With a masculine promise, we've got the skill. Chorus C D A masculine promise, not a hollow claim, G Em It's the fire in us, it’s not a game. C D A masculine promise, etched in stone, G Em Till the end of time, we're never alone.
