Backstory:
Ragged Infant was formed in the bustling city of Los Angeles, California, in 2011. The lead vocalist and guitarist, Tommy Thompson, met the drummer, Mike “The Machine” Madison, in a record shop, where they discovered their shared admiration for the grunge heroes of the 90s. They decided to combine their musical prowess and create something new. In their search for a bass player, they met the enigmatic Jackson “Jax” Davis, whose jazzy bass lines added an unexpected yet captivating layer to their robust sound. Over the years, they gained recognition not only for their unique blend of styles but also for their raw, heart-wrenching lyrics.

Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G F
Beneath the veil of velvet ashes,
C G Dm
Lies our love, silent and cold.
Am G F
Once aflame, now just remnants,
C G Dm
Of a story, never fully told.

(Chorus)
Am G F
Velvet ashes, of our dreams,
C G Dm
In the night, we’re tearing at the seams.
Am G F
Voices echo, in the hush,
C G Dm
Ragged love, in a final rush.

(Verse 2)
Am G F
In the glow of the dying embers,
C G Dm
We dance on the edge of despair.
Am G F
Haunted by the tender whispers,
C G Dm
Of a love, we no longer share.

(Chorus)
Am G F
Velvet ashes, and broken vows,
C G Dm
We’re just ghosts, in the here and now.
Am G F
Silhouettes, in the fading light,
C G Dm
Ragged Infant’s, endless night.
