Backstory:
Rash Palm was formed during the rise of the underground music scene in the grungy basement of a New York City loft.

Years later, they crossed paths with charismatic vocalist, Jess “Riff” Riley, and laid-back bassist, Tom “Blink” Blevins, in the heart of the city’s music scene. The four instantly clicked, forming a unique bond and shared vision that led to the creation of Rash Palm.
Their unwavering commitment to their craft in the face of adversity, combined with their gritty, emotive performances, earned Rash Palm a loyal local following. Their music, fueled by the struggles of urban life, has resonated with fans across the globe.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Down the alleyways, [C] under the city lights,
[D] Trapped in the noise, [Em] fighting for what’s right.
[G] We’ve seen the highs, [C] we’ve known the lows,
[D] Walking on concrete shadows, [Em] that’s all we know.
(Chorus)
[G] Concrete shadows, [C] beneath our feet,
[D] In the city that never sleeps, [Em] we found our beat.
[G] Concrete shadows, [C] in our hearts,
[D] That’s where our journey starts, [Em] that’s where we are.
(Verse 2)
[G] Street corner dreams, [C] under neon skies,
[D] Life’s not what it seems, [Em] when you’re living lies.
[G] We’ve played the game, [C] we’ve paid the tolls,
[D] Dancing on concrete shadows, [Em] that’s how it goes.
(Chorus)
[G] Concrete shadows, [C] beneath our feet,
[D] In the city that never sleeps, [Em] we found our beat.
[G] Concrete shadows, [C] in our hearts,
[D] That’s where our journey starts, [Em] that’s where we are.
