1. Backstory:
Unused Mouth was formed in an abandoned warehouse in the gritty heart of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2015. Its members, high school friends Mark Webb (vocals), Jason Ritter (guitar), Ryan Hall (bass), and Tommy Walker (drums), had been playing in various musical projects separately before they decided to combine their creative forces. Their unique chemistry combined with their shared feelings of disillusionment with societal norms and expectations led to the formation of a band whose mission was to create music that would challenge societal ideologies and provide a voice for the voiceless.
The band’s name, Unused Mouth, was chosen as a symbol of all the voices left unheard in society. The members have always had a strong belief in freedom of expression and found their band to be the perfect medium to convey this.
2. Music Genre:

4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
In the hidden corners of this world, we pine away,
Voices unheard, living in shades of gray.
In chains of silence, our dreams held at bay,
But in our hearts, the rebellion holds sway.
(Chorus)
Silent Scream, the cry of the unseen,
In a world that’s lost in a hollow dream.
Silent Scream, the voice of the unheard,
We are the echo, we are the word.
(Verse 2)
In the face of injustice, we find our rage,
In the ink of our stories, we set the stage.
With every strum, every beat, every line we page,
In defiance, we write, refusing to engage.
(Chorus)
Silent Scream, the cry of the unseen,
In a world that’s lost in a hollow dream.
Silent Scream, for the voiceless we stand,
With our music, we rise, we make our stand.
(Bridge)
In the quiet, in the storm, our voices echo,
In a world that’s deaf, we are the crescendo.
With every silenced cry, our resolve grows,
Through our music, the world’s injustice shows.
(Chorus)
Silent Scream, the cry of the unseen,
In a world that’s lost in a hollow dream.
Silent Scream, we are the unheard,
In the silence, we are the word.
(Outro)
In the echo of our silent scream,
We find our voice, we find our dream,
We are the Unused Mouth, we are the unseen,
In our music, the voiceless are seen.
