1. Backstory:

Nippy Shame was birthed from the eccentric halls of a derelict warehouse in Lower East Side, New York. The band was formed in 2015 when lead vocalist and bassist, Tommy “Nippy” Nixon, ran into a disgruntled music producer and drummer, Shane “Shame” Santiago at a late-night vinyl record sale. After a spirited debate over the merits of progressive rock vs. punk rock, they decided to merge their contrasting styles and musical vision. Adding the powerhouse keyboardist Maria “Marauder” Marquez and charismatic guitarist, Frankie “Funk” Farrow into the mix, Nippy Shame was born. Their combined love of all things music, their shared disdain for the conformity in the industry, and their undying spirit of rebellion, began to shape the unique sound that is Nippy Shame.

2. Music Genre:

Nippy Shame represents a blend of Psychedelic Punk Rock, embodying the energy and drive of punk with the expansive, edgy soundscapes of psychedelic rock.

4. Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
In the heart of this concrete jungle, under neon-lit skies,
We paint our dreams in bold graffiti, where the wild spirit lies.
We dance to rhythms of rebellion, on the streets, we make our stand,
In this world that’s cold and ruthless, together hand-in-hand.

(Chorus)
Neon prophets, we are the children of the night,
Guided by the urban stars, standing tall in city light.
We’ve got the rhythm, we’ve got the rhyme,
Breaking chains, defying time,
In this gritty, grungy paradise, we ignite.

(Verse 2)
Through the mirror of shattered glass, the distorted reality gleams,
We’re the poets of the pavement, the weavers of dreams.
In the echoes of the subway, where the whispers of freedom ring,
We are the melody, the harmony, the song that the night sings.

(Chorus)
Neon prophets, we’re the symphony of the street,
In the chaos of the city, we find a rhythm that’s sweet.
With every strum, with every beat,
In the face of defeat,
We break the silence, in every alley, on every beat.

(Bridge)
Through the smoke and the shadows, we carve our name,
In this city of illusions, in this city of fame.
From the ashes, we rise, like an untamed flame,
We’re the Nippy Shame, the Nippy Shame, the Nippy Shame.

(Chorus)
Neon prophets, the echoes of a forgotten song,
In the heart of the concrete, where the lost souls belong.
In the symphony of sirens, in the city’s endless game,
We are the voice, the Nippy Shame, the life in every frame.
