1. Short Backstory:
Unlucky Liberation was born in the heart of Philadelphia in 2014, formed by five high school friends who found solace and connection through music amidst their personal hardships. They were deemed “unlucky” for their struggles early in life, but the band chose to turn their plight into a tool for liberation. The group is led by frontman and lead vocalist, Dylan Roberts, alongside guitarists Ethan Carter and Ryan Simmons, bassist Jake Thompson, and drummer Marcus Lewis. They challenged the traditional perception of music in their community, using their experiences and voices to inspire resilience and hope.
The group started playing in small local gigs and gradually gained popularity through their raw, emotional lyrics and electrifying performances. Their journey wasn’t smooth sailing, with numerous rejections and setbacks, but the band always stayed true to its name, finding liberation in their “unluckiness.” Their breakthrough came when a video of their performance at a local open-mic night went viral, catching the attention of a renown music producer who later helped them release their first studio album.

4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Hey, trapped within these walls of facing despair,
Life seemed to be a tricky game, nobody cared.
Broken dreams, shattered hearts, no place to call home,
But in this chaos, we found our anthems and our tomes.
(Chorus)
We are the Unlucky Liberation, rising from the ashes,
Turning our chains of misfortune into flashes.
We won’t be defined by the struggles we’ve seen,
We’re the Unlucky Liberation, proudly unclean.
(Verse 2)
Fighting battles, relentlessly, night after night,
In the darkness, we found our beacon of light.
Our music is the war cry for those feeling alone,
It’s our rebellion, it’s our strength, it’s our very own.
(Chorus)
We are the Unlucky Liberation, rising from the ashes,
Turning our chains of misfortune into flashes.
We won’t be defined by the struggles we’ve seen,
We’re the Unlucky Liberation, proudly unclean.
(Bridge)
With every beat, every note, every strum,
We’ll keep fighting, until our liberation comes.
No more chains, no more pain, just freedom and song,
With the Unlucky Liberation, you’ll always belong.
(Chorus)
We are the Unlucky Liberation, rising from the ashes,
Turning our chains of misfortune into flashes.
We won’t be defined by the struggles we’ve seen,
We’re the Unlucky Liberation, proudly unclean.
(Outro)
From the ashes we rise, with our heads held up high,
We are the Unlucky Liberation, we’re not afraid to fly.
