Backstory:
Scornful Ban materialized in the sleepy town of Hemlock, Oregon. Once merely high school nerds with dreams larger than their suburban town, they started as an after-school escape, providing solace from the monotony of their lives. Comprising of lead vocalist and guitarist, Ben “Screaming” Harper, bassist, Mike “Madfingers” McLougherty, drummer, Steve “Thunderfoot” Thompson, and the charismatic keyboardist, Jane “Jazzhands” Johnson, the band’s chemistry was undeniable.
Years later, the band took the local music scene by storm, drawing crowds with their intense emotional performances. They began touring across the Pacific Northwest, earning a dedicated fan base that loved their raw, unfiltered sound. Despite their ascendant fame, they remain grounded, often returning to Hemlock for impromptu gigs.

“Embittered Echoes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse) [Am]Echoes of the [G]past, [F]haunting my [E7]soul
[Am]Can’t let go of the [G]scars, they’re taking [F]control
[Em]Memories, they [Am]cast, a [G]darkened [F]mold
[Em]In the mirror, I [Am]ask, [G]”Who’s the face I [F]hold?”
(Chorus) [Dm]Embittered [C]echoes, [G]call my [Am]name
[Dm]Voices from the [C]past, stoke the [G]flame
[Am]Can’t escape the [G]sound, it’s [F]all the [E7]same
[Dm]Caught in the [C]cycle, of [G]life’s cruel [Am]game.
(Verse) [Am]Shadows of the [G]night, [F]creep into [E7]light
[Am]Fighting till the [G]dawn, to claim the [F]right
[Em]Dreams within my [Am]sight, [G]fade out of [F]sight
[Em]In the silence, I [Am]fight, [G]against the [F]plight.
(Chorus) [Dm]Embittered [C]echoes, [G]talk of [Am]pain
[Dm]Laughter turned to [C]tears, gone down the [G]drain
[Am]Can’t outrun the [G]past, it’s [F]set in [E7]stain
[Dm]Living in the [C]echo, of an old [G]refrain. [Am]
