Backstory:
Formed in the rustic landscapes of Oregon, Unhealthy Cloth is an amalgamation of five childhood friends who shared an unquenchable passion for music. The members – frontman Jake, lead guitarist Ethan, bassist Noah, drummer Lucas, and keyboardist Liam – all grew up in the same small town of Bend. They spent their high school years jamming in Ethan’s garage, honing their skills, and dreaming of a life beyond the dense forests and mountains of their town. As they ventured into different fields for their university education, they always knew that music was their true calling. In 2015, after finishing their respective studies, they reunited, and Unhealthy Cloth was born.
Their band name was inspired by an old, weather-worn piece of cloth that hung on the wall of Ethan’s garage, where they spent countless hours practicing. This cloth, though visibly unhealthy with wear and tear, held their memories, dreams, and aspirations – a significant symbol of their journey from garage band to aspiring musicians on the rise.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C
Staring at the cloth on the wall,
G D
Worn and faded, on the verge of fall.
Em C
Rusty dreams within its fold,
G D
Stories waiting to be told.
(Chorus)
Em C
Rusty Dreams, in the night,
G D
Holding on with all our might.
Em C
Rusty Dreams, don’t let go,
G D
It’s our story, it’s our show.
(Verse 2)
Em C
The road is rough, the journey’s long,
G D
But we’ll keep going, breaking the dawn.
Em C
Beneath the cloth, our spirit holds,
G D
In Rusty Dreams, our saga unfolds.
(Chorus)
Em C
Rusty Dreams, in the night,
G D
Holding on with all our might.
Em C
Rusty Dreams, don’t let go,
G D
It’s our story, it’s our show.
