Backstory:
Sympathetic Database, a name coined from the relentless tech-driven world we live in, was formed in the eclectic city of Austin, Texas in 2015. The four-piece band comprised of frontwoman Skylar Monroe, guitarist Jude Abbott, bassist Riley Brown, and drummer Nico Bell, all shared a common interest – they were computer science majors longing to express their creativity through music. They spent their days troubleshooting network problems and writing code, while their nights were consumed by writing songs and honing their musical skills. Their chemistry was undeniable, and it wasn’t long before they began to produce music that was a reflection of their unique experiences and perspectives.
Sympathetic Database began performing in local bars and cafes, their unique blend of sounds quickly finding an audience. Their music resonated with those who felt overwhelmed by the rapid pace of technology, offering a musical sanctuary where they could unwind and reflect. They soon gained recognition and by 2019 signed a record deal. Despite their newfound fame, they remained true to their roots, using their music to explore the intersection between technology and human emotions.

“Alter Ego Algorithm”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Trapped in a [G] world of ones and zeros,
[Dm] Tangled in the [Em] web of techno fears.
[G] Lost in the maze of [Am] silicon dreams,
[F] Seeking solace in [G] digital seams.
(Chorus)
[C] Alter Ego [G] Algorithm, [Dm] show me the way,
[Em] Decode the chaos, [F] break the array.
[C] In the heart of the [G] machine, I find my soul,
[Dm] Within the code, [F] I am whole.
(Verse 2)
[C] Binary truths, [G] pixelated lies,
[Dm] Virtual reality, [Em] under cybernetic skies.
[G] Behind the screen, [Am] a heartbeat echoes,
[F] A Sympathetic Database, [G] in techno meadows.
(Chorus)
[C] Alter Ego [G] Algorithm, [Dm] illuminate the dark,
[Em] Dispel the shadows, [F] ignite the spark.
[C] In the rhythm of the bytes, [G] I find my song,
[Dm] In this digital realm, [F] I belong.
