Backstory

Polite Fan was formed in 2017, in the grungy basements and dimly lit bars of Seattle, Washington. Comprised of four friends who bonded over a mutual appreciation for indie rock and vintage vinyl, they decided to take their passion for music to the next level and started creating music of their own. The band includes lead vocalist and guitarist, Andrew Thompson, bassist Rachel Langley, drummer Pete Denison, and keyboardist Sam O’Connor. Their humble beginnings have been central to their ethos, shaping their unique sound and close-knit relationship as a band.

They started to gain traction after releasing their music on various online platforms, their raw, genuine sound resonating with a wide audience. Their songs, often introspective and teeming with poignant lyrics, have struck a chord with many, earning them a dedicated fan base. In a short span, Polite Fan has made a significant mark in the indie rock scene, and they’re just getting started.

“Neon Dreams”

Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(G – Em – C)
I chase these neon dreams, through city screams,
The lights they dance, in a hypnotic trance.
An urban lullaby, under the twilight sky,
In the echoes of the night, we learn to fly.

[Chorus]
(D – Em – C – G)
Neon dreams, don’t let them fade,
In the heart of the city, our love was made.
Neon dreams, they’re not what they seem,
But in the chaos, we found our theme.

[Verse 2]
(G – Em – C)
Beneath the stars so bright, in the soft moonlight,
We found our song, in the city’s throng.
A symphony of light, in the quiet of the night,
In our neon dreams, we found our fight.

[Chorus]
(D – Em – C – G)
Neon dreams, don’t let them fade,
In the heart of the city, our love was made.
Neon dreams, they’re not what they seem,
But in the chaos, we found our theme.
