Backstory:
Traumatic Animal was born in the lively streets of Brooklyn, where vibrant music culture meets the hustle and bustle of city life. Its members, Jonny “Razor” Radcliffe and Aaron “DrumBeast” Mitchell, met at a local dive bar’s open mic night. Razor, an enigmatic singer and guitarist, was searching for a drummer who could match his passion and eccentricity. DrumBeast, a powerhouse on the drums, was looking for a project that could challenge him and push boundaries. Their meeting was serendipitous and marked the beginning of a wild journey that would take them to venues they never dreamed of performing in.
Despite their starkly different backgrounds, their shared love for pushing musical boundaries and creating something unique was a common thread that tied them together. They found their groove when they began to blend heavy rock with unexpected elements of funk, creating a genre-bending sound that took New York City by storm.

Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1:
(Am) Wandering through the (F) urban jungle, (C) concrete under my (G) feet,
(Am) Looking for a (F) thrill, a (C) rhythm that (G) meets my beat,
(Am) Shadows in the (F) alleyways, (C) echoes in the (G) night,
(Am) I’m a creature (F) of the city, (C) hunting for the (G) light.
Chorus:
(Am) Give me the bite of the (F) wild, the (C) roars of the crowd,
(G) Let the beat of the drums ring (Am) loud
Lost in the (F) music, I’m (C) free, I’m defiled,
(G) I need the bite, the bite of the (Am) wild.
Verse 2:
(Am) Neon lights are (F) flashing, (C) reflecting in my (G) eyes,
(Am) I feel the (F) bass pulsing, (C) reaching for the (G) skies,
(Am) This city is a (F) beast, it’s (C) heart is beating (G) fast,
(Am) With every strum, (F) I’m taming it, (C) making memories (G) last.
Chorus:
(Am) Give me the bite of the (F) wild, the (C) roars of the crowd,
(G) Let the beat of the drums ring (Am) loud
Lost in the (F) music, I’m (C) free, I’m defiled,
(G) I need the bite, the bite of the (Am) wild.
