1. Short Backstory:
Hailing from the quirky town of Austin, Texas, Tepid Bathroom was formed in the spring of 2012 by four lifelong friends who shared a love of music and unusual band names. The band’s name was inspired by a laugh-out-loud moment when the foursome found themselves in a less-than-desirable restroom at one of their favorite dive bars. With their offbeat sense of humor and knack for crafting catchy tunes, Tepid Bathroom quickly gained a devoted local following. They’ve since grown from performing at small pubs to filling concert halls throughout the Midwest.
Their spark of creativity ignited early on in their parents’ garages, where they used to jam after school. Scribbling lyrics on napkins, they were initially influenced by their parents’ classic rock and country records, but soon found their unique sound – a hybrid that could only be described as “Indie Bathroom Rock.”

4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G D
On that cold steel seat, in the heart of the city,
Am G D
Under harsh neon lights, ain’t it a pity?
(Chorus)
C G Am F
Oh, Porcelain Throne, give me sanctuary,
C G F
In this tepid bathroom, it’s you and me.
(Verse 2)
Am G D
Lost in the echoes of a flushing refrain,
Am G D
I sing my heart out, to drown out the pain.
(Chorus)
C G Am F
Oh, Porcelain Throne, you’re my haven, my home,
C G F
In this tepid bathroom, we are never alone.
(Outro)
Am G D
Through grime and echoes, our song will be known,
Am G D
In the heart of the city, on the Porcelain Throne.
