Backstory:

The unique combination of four high school friends with a shared love for music gave birth to the band named ‘Shiny Magazine’ in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts. Lead vocalist Mitchell ‘Mitch’ O’Connor, guitarist Caleb ‘Cal’ Johnson, bassist Vincent ‘Vinnie’ Russo, and drummer Theo ‘Teddy’ Kim spent their after-school hours practicing in a garage, honing their skills and developing their distinct sound.

As they evolved musically, they began to make a name for themselves locally, playing at small gigs and parties. The band’s big break came when they won first place at a local music competition, earning them the opportunity to record their very first EP.

Genre:

Shiny Magazine encapsulates the essence of Indie Pop with a mix of Alternative Rock. Their sound is a fusion of catchy pop melodies, quirky guitar riffs, and thoughtful lyrics that resonate with their audience.

Title:

“Neon Dreams”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Wandering through the city lights, [D] we find our hearts collide,
[G] Don’t know where we’re headed next, [Em] but it feels so right.
[C] Neon dreams in our eyes, [D] under the starry night,
[G] It’s you and me against the world, [Em] and we’ve never felt this alive.

(Chorus)
[C] We’re living in neon dreams, [D] chasing what we can’t see,
[G] Life’s a beautiful mess, [Em] and we’re dancing in the mystery.
[C] Underneath the city lights, [D] we’re living out our fantasies,
[G] It’s you and me against the world, [Em] in our neon dreams.

(Verse 2)
[C] Strangers in the night, [D] lost in the rhythm of the city,
[G] We’re dancing through the chaos, [Em] feeling something pretty.
[C] There’s magic in the madness, [D] a symphony in the noise,
[G] It’s you and me against the world, [Em] don’t need anything else, boys.

(Repeat Chorus)
